012. ART OF WILDFOWLING. Abel Chapman. This book 

 is far more than it professes to be : instead of being 

 confined to "first lessons," it is one of the ablest 

 treatises on the most general of British sports, and 

 the one that has of late attracted most attention owing 

 to the fact that modern methods of shooting gratify 

 those only who delight in successful marksmanship. 

 Sportsmen who take pleasure in hunting their game 

 more and more resort to wildfowling, and the literature 

 of this branch of the sport of shooting is rapidly 

 increasing. Mr. Chapman, after devoting twelve 

 chapters to the practice of wildfowling and the habits 

 of wildfowl at home and abroad, adds five chapters of 

 reminiscences, of which the best are " Two Seasons on 

 Home Waters," and " Two Seasons in Southern Spain." 

 Mr. Chapman was part author of " Wild Spain," and 

 his writings afford valuable information for sportsmen 

 seeking sport near Great Britain. This volume has 

 thirty-six illustrations by the author, and three by 

 Charles Whymper. London: H. Cox, 1896. Svo, 

 illustrated, 268 pp., 10s. Qd.
