THE
WILD-FOWLER:
A Treatise On Ancient And Modern Wild Fowling, Historical And Practical
BY
Henry Coleman Folkard , ESQ.
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
A SECOND EDITION of this work being- called for, the Author takes
the opportunity of stating that no alterations have been made in the
new edition, the subjects treated of being such that nothing new
appears to have occurred in relation to them since the publication
of the former edition ; and, as the work was then prepared with
great care, and after very considerable labour and research, in
which no pains were spared to render it as complete as the Author
could hope to make it, he has not thought it either useful or
necessary to incur fresh labours about the present work.
The new edition, it will be observed, is published by the Messrs.
Longmans, of Paternoster Row ; the publishers of the former edition
(Messrs. Piper, Stephenson, and Spence) having sometime since
dissolved partnership.
