Note. — Although the literature of Sport is large and compre- 

 hensive, till the present time no book has been prepared exclusively 

 for the benefit of gamekeepers. " The Keeper's Book " is intended 

 to serve as a vade mecu7n for the gamekeeper, dealing as it does 

 with all the duties of a keeper by moor, covert, river, and forest. 

 All important questions, such as the improvement of ground and 

 stock, and the duties of a gamekeeper during both the close and the 

 open season, will be fully dealt with in general by the authors, and 

 in specific cases by well - known specialists. For instance. Lord 

 Douglas Graham contributes the chapter on " Wildfowling," Captain 

 Shaw Kennedy will deal with the duties of the Deer-stalker, 

 Dr. Reid writes on the training and the working of Dogs, Mr. John 

 Lamb, advocate, on " The Keeper and the Law," Tom Speedy on 

 the elimination of Vermin, and P. D. Malloch discusses the functions 

 of a keeper in River, Loch, and Burn.
