A BIBLIOGRAPHY OP 
[brodrick 
took up falconry enthusiastically, and enjoyed the great 
advantage of hawking over the moor of his uncle, the cele- 
brated Selby of Twizell. 
When, later on, he moved to the south of England, and 
resided at Bath and Ilfracombe, he for several years procured 
young Peregrine Falcons from Lundy Island, so long famous 
for its hawks of that breed. After leaving Ilfracombe, he 
settled at Chudleigh, but, finding the neighbourhood quite 
unsuited to the practice of his favourite sport, he had re- 
luctantly to give it up and solace himself by retaining his 
various hawks and falcons as pets only. 
In 1855, in conjunction with his old friend, Captain F. H. 
Salvin, he published, through Van Voorst, the first edition 
of Falconry in the British Isles , the illustrations to which were 
all drawn by him from the life, the letterpress being the 
joint work of Captain Salvin and himself. In 1873 the 
second edition was published, also by Van Voorst, the plates 
being redrawn by Brodrick with some additions, owing to the 
original lithographic stones having been destroyed. Pre- 
viously, however (in 1865), he had produced the charming 
series of folio plates, giving life-sized figures of hawks, entitled 
Falconers' Favourites. 
Brodrick was an expert taxidermist, as well as artist, and 
rivalled John Hancock in the casing of groups of stuffed 
birds, of which he had an extensive and interesting collection. 
His other hobbies included canary-breeding and microscopy. 
He died on December 21, 1888, at Littlehill, Chudleigh, 
which had been his residence for more than twenty years, 
during the whole of which period he had, we learn, furnished 
Messrs. D ’Urban and Mathew with information on Devonshire 
birds, which was incorporated in The Birds of Devon , pub- 
lished by those authors (1892).
