Excerpt from British Dogs at Work
Although battue shooting has thousands of votaries there are still many men to be found who love to shoot over dogs, realising more pleasure from seeing the work of a well trained Pointer or Setter than in counting up an enormous bag at the end of the day. The Pointer is supposed to have come from Spain early in the eighteenth century, and his stamina and scenting powers make him an invaluable dog. As a companion the Setter is more lovable and intelligent.

Excerpt from British Dogs at Work
Mr. Vernon Stokes' illustrations are so admirable in every respect, that I feel that whatever I have to say must of necessity be subordinated to them. They will appeal alike to the connoisseur and to the man who does not know a dog in the technical sense. To the old hand, who may say that I am telling him nothing new, I may rejoin that he has already graduated in the best of all schools - that of experience - and that my remarks are largely addressed to those who are about to tread the path he has followed for years.
