82 BOOKS ON FALCONRY. 



SOUS la porte du Palais, pres la Bastille, et Jacques 



Besongne dans la Cour du Palais. 1644. 4to. 



The contents of this edition are the same as in that of 1627 

 and include all that d'Arcussia has written ; but the text is much 

 more correct. On this account it is to be preferred to any of 

 the editions which preceded it. The work is much esteemed 

 on account of its originality and the amount of information 

 which it conveys, and particularly for the description which 

 the author gives of flights which he witnessed when hawking 

 with the King. Notwithstanding the many editions which have 

 appeared, copies are always difficult to procure, and command a 

 high price. At M. Bartel's sale in Paris, in April and May 

 1889, four different editions were sold as under: the third 

 edition, 1605, for i65f. ; 1615, i65f. ; 1627, 649f. ; and 1644, 

 56of. In 161 7 a German translation of the 4th edition was 

 published at Frankfort, by Hoffmann (No. 97).
