Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pheasants and Covert Shooting
The writer makes no apology for this book; the many reviewers who found it in their hearts to speak well of his volume on the partridge must in some degree share the responsibility for this attempt to treat of the pheasant after the same fashion, since without their words of kindly encouragement, he would scarce have dared to face the public again with no new wares to offer.
Should these pages perchance prove a useful reference to those who have an interest in this branch of sport, their existence will have been justified, and the writer fully rewarded; should they merely serve to while away an empty half-hour by reason of being tolerably light reading, he will yet be content.
