The present work, although nominally a second edition of the author's "Practical Game Preserving," is practically a new production. The length of time which has elapsed since the first edition appeared has witnessed such great changes in our system of preservation, there has been such an increased amount of knowledge gained, and old methods have had to give place so largely to new ones, that an entire revision had become necessary.
The aim has been to provide the game-preserver, as well as the gamekeeper, with a thoroughly trustworthy handbook, in which everything is set out clearly and precisely, and without confusing the issue by reference to alternative modes of working.
It has also been deemed advisable to exclude some matters of a comparatively unimportant nature, such as the trapping and snaring of rabbits, the management of ferrets, &c., which found a place in the previous edition. These have been dealt with fully in my small manuals upon the respective subjects.
Reference to the badger, the marten, and the otter as vermin is also omitted, as for the most part these creatures no longer occupy such position.
Everything appearing in the manual is the outcome of proved practical and personal experience.
