THE SPORTSMAN’S HANDBOOK 
TO PRACTICAL COLLECTING, PRESERVING, AND ARTISTIC 
SETTING-UP OF TROPHIES AND SPECIMENS 
TO WHICH IS ADDED A 
SYNOPTICAL GUIDE TO THE HUNTING GROUNDS 
OF THE WORLD 
By ROWLAND WARD, F.ZS., 
AUTHOR OF ‘HORN MEASUREMENTS,’ ETC. 
SEVENTH EDITION—WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS. 
‘Sport, however, it must be borne in mind, is a thing of every climate and of all 
seasons, and the manual referred to, ‘The Sportsman’s Handbook,’ by Rowland 
Ward, F.Z.S., has a little to say of most regions, from the North of Scandinavia to 
the South of India. All knowledge is apt to come in useful ; and even those of us 
who may never know the delight of facing a charge of the Cape buffalo—under some 
circumstances among the most dangerous experiences of the sportsman, we are told— 
may yet find a less rapturous pleasure in learning how a real sportsman should enter- 
tain such a visitor. The next best thing to being able to shoot a lion in a workman- 
like fashion is to know how the thing ought to be done, and that is among the items 
of instruction in this little book.” Daily News, Leading Article. 
“ With this in his portmanteau, no one fond of shooting and collecting need any 
longer lament his inability to preserve his trophies, since the directions given for 
skinning and preserving animals of all kinds are extremely clear and simple, and 
rendered all the more intelligible by the wood engravings by which they are accom- 
panied. Quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects are all dealt with in turns, 
and directions given not merely for skinning them, but also for mounting them, if 
desired, a year or two (it may be) after they have been procured.” —Fie/d.
