1408. LIVRE DU CHASSEUR. Charles Diguet. A popular 

 manual for the sportsman. Fayard, Paris, n.d. (1881). 

 Gr. 8vo, 464 pp. [This may be regarded as a fair 

 specimen of a class of sporting book for which there 

 appears to have been a large demand in France. It is 

 a book written in the style of a penny-a-liner round 

 about shooting and natural history rather than of it, 

 has many literary allusions, and is well studded with 

 Latin quotations and sporting slang. The illustrations 

 are in some cases of very fair quality, in others appear 

 to have been taken from a cheap natural history 

 book. An advantage of the book as a class was 

 that it could be divided into various volumes, " Gibier 

 a Plume," " Gibier a Foil," etc., and separately 

 published with a coloured lithograph on paper cover.]
