 cures. With a short discourse of the Spaniel, showing his use 

 in Faulconry : With directions for the breeding, ordering and 

 managing him for the game : Together with directions for the 

 choosing, ordering, and making a setting dog." 



This portion of the work is illustrated with five full-page 

 copper-plate engravings, dedicated to noblemen and gentlemen 

 who at that date were notable exponents of Hawking, and expert 

 in those branches of the sport with which their names are asso- 

 ciated. Thus : —
