Denham dwelling in Paternoster Rowe at the Starre. Anno

A quaint little work, divided into three " Bookes," the second 

 and third having each a separate title-page and Preface. The 

 species of animals and plants described are arranged alphabeti- 

 cally. Curious descriptions are given of the Falcon (p. 86) and 

 Goshawke (p. 87), in which not a few errors may be detected.

Black letter, pp. 93, with folding plate of the Crow-net set or 

 bent, and various traps for Hawks. The treatise on fishing is a 

 mutilated version of that in the Book of St. Albans. Interesting 

 to the Falconer as describing methods of catching Hawks. It is 

 in this volume that the introduction of the Carp into England is 

 attributed to " Maister Mascall, of Plumsted in Sussex, who also 

 brought first the planting of the Pippin in England." 



Three other editions of this book appeared in 1596, 1600, 

 and 1606.
