Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Lea and Blanchard, Philadelphia, PA. 1846. 460 pgs +32 pp of advertisements and publisher's catalogue, frontispiece, plus 9 plates, 2 text illustrations. First American, from the ninth London edition. Bound in 3/4 ruled blue leather with matching cloth boards with titles and raised bands present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Colonel Peter Hawker (24 November 1786 7 August 1853) was a celebrated diarist and author, and a shooting sportsman accounted one of the "great shots" of the 19th century. His sporting exploits were widely followed and on occasion considered worth reporting in The Times. Hawker is best known today for his published works on the sporting activities of shooting, wildfowling and fishing. Hawker published his "Advice to Young Sportsmen" in 1814, a popular work with nine impressions in his lifetime, the latest paper edition appearing in 1975. Forty years after Hawker's death, an Australian book reviewer stated, "Probably no book on the subject of sport ever enjoyed so wide or so long sustained a popularity as the Instructions to Young Sportsmen".
