This little manual, now of some rarity, has a history. It was 

 originally published in Paris, in 1773, in i2mo, with the title 

 Almanack du Chasseur, but without the author's name. The 

 bookseller Royet, having secured some copies, erased the date 

 and substituted his own name and address, which caused it to be 

 subsequently quoted in catalogues as an " edition sans date." 

 He suppressed also the two leaves of "approbation" and 

 "privilege " containing the date and author's name, but omitted 

 to suppress (or reprint) page 207, on which the date occurs ! 

 Another Paris bookseller (Lamy), having acquired the re- 

 mainder, made a new book of it, with the title Manuel du 

 Chasseur, printing a new title-page, with the author's name and 

 that of his own firm, bu suppressing the " avertissement " and 

 *' privilege." To falconers at the present day it is more curious 

 than useful.
