B/w line drawings, Greener's catalogue to rear, pictorial end-papers. Blue boards, gilt hammer-gun motif to upper board, spine titled in gilt. Sight use/ lean to spine but… clean. Very good in slightly spine-faded dust-wrapper. A reprint of the revised second edition of 1891, including the catalogue of Greener's shotguns and equipment at the rear. William Wellington Greener lived through the era which saw the development of the bolt-action rifle and the breech-loading shotgun in their modern forms. Greener "devoted himself completely to the development and improvement of the modern breech loading gun. He was quick to recognise, adopt and promote the most up-to-date gunmaking practices. Bold, resourceful, self-opinionated to the point of arrogance in all his writings, W.W. Greener left an indelible imprint on the British gun trade. Guns bearing his firm's name are strong, stylish, well made and distinctive. His literary career outstripped that of his father and such was the popularity of his books most, it must be said, unashamedly advertising Greener wares, that more than one was produced in nine editions." Chapters include: The gun: Historical; Descriptive; Analytical; Technical; Specifical; Critical; Practical. Ammunition and accessories: Gunpowders; Shot; Cartridge cases and wadding; Gun cases and implements. Trap shooting: Live bird shooting; Inanimate targets.

Condición: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1983). (1901) 1983 Tideline Books new edition. Small 8vo (175 x 188). Pp267,ads. B/w illustrations by S.T. Dadd. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Very good in slightly used / stained / faded dust-wrapper. First publish…ed in 1901 under the title 'Confessions of a Poacher.' In 1889 Jim Connell wrote 'The Red Flag', which became the anthem of the international Labour movement. He was born near Kilskyre, County Meath, and in his teens moved with his family to Birr, County Offaly, where he worked as a groom for the Earl of Rosse. He became involved with land agitation and was sworn into the Irish Republican Brotherhood, moving to Dublin in 1869; failing to unionize the docks, he went to London in 1875. There he worked as a navvy, railwayman and poacher, and was a popular figure in Fleet Street and a friend of Keir Hardie, with whom he produced the Socialist Journal. From his journalism grew his books, the most popular of them, Confessions of a Poacher (1901). This book is a vivid series of autobiographical sketches that describe Connell's early life among the Slieve Blooms and his move to London's East End. At weekends he sallies forth with his companions and beloved lurcher Nellie in quest of game: hare, pheasant, rabbit, partridge and salmon - most of it illegally trapped, snared and shot. He encounters magistrates and landlords, evoking a hierarchical late-Victorian world in which town and country merge, and peasant and gentry find common cause in a love of sport and the call of the wild. .

Condición: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1983). (1894) 1983 new edition. Small 8vo (120 x 188mm). Ppviii,89. Orange-brown boards, spines titled in gilt. Slight tanning to end-papers and edges but very good. Water stains to rear of dust-wrapper. "Following on our… 'Pheasant Rearer's Manual,' we herewith offer to our customers a second volume of the series. Our present work contains a fund of interesting information, collected by our firm during the many years we have been engaged in the business of supplying the gamekeeper with the requirements of his profession. Our remarks are principally confined to that poaching directed against pheasants, partridges, hares, and rabbits, judging other as outside our province; however, we venture to assert that wherever the gamekeeper may be situated, and whatever may be the nature of his charge, he will find something within especially applicable to his duties. The many interesting anecdotes related, concerning both keeper and poacher, should prove amusing and instructive; We do not exaggerate the reality of the dangers accompanying the keeper's daily path, rather erring in a contrary direction; recent events have amply proved that to thoroughly fulfil the duties of his calling he must be a man of nerve, therefore, to those sportsmen who imagine his life an easy one, and free from care and worry, we earnestly commend a perusal of the following pages, confident they will afterwards agree with us - that no labourer is more worthy of his hire. (The reception which the first and second editions of this work received has induced us to issue to issue a third edition.)" .
