How to drive Partridges. 



The Driving of Partridges is more delightful than 

 any other way of taking them : The manner of it is 

 thus. 



Make an Engine in the form and fafliion of a Horfe, 

 cut out of Canvas, and fluff it with Straw, or fuch 

 light matter : with this artificial Horfe and your Nets 

 you mult go to the Haunts of Partridges^ and having 

 found oat the Covie, and pitcht your Nets below, you 

 muft go above, and taking the advantage of the Wind, 

 you muft drive downward : Let your Nets be pitcht 

 Hope-wife and hovering. Then, having your Face 

 covered with fomething that is green, or of a dark blue, 

 you muft, putting the Engine before you, ftalk towards 

 the Partridges with a flow pace, raiting them on their 

 Feet, but not their Wings, and then will they run na- 

 turally before you. 



If they chance to run a by-way, or contrary to your 

 purpofe, then crofs them with your Engine, and by fo 

 facing them, they will run into that track you would 

 have them : Thus by a gentle flow pace you may make 

 them run and go which way you will, and at laft drive 

 them into your Net, and fo difpofe ©f them at your 

 jpleafure.
