Condizione: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1907). (1903) 1929 16th edition. 8vo (144 x 222mm). Ppxii,595. Tipped-in colour frontispiece of the author, tipped-in colour illustrations. Binding B, plain green cloth, spine titled in black. Boards slightly dented and stained, browning to end-papers and edges. Good-plus. "With a new introduction and a special chapter on sporting guns by Major Hugh Pollard, Sporting Editor of Country Life." This is a detailed account of what the gamekeeper and his profession should look like, from the point of view of the master of the house. "This book is written for 'the good keeper who knows his work, and for the bad one who does not.'" "Even taking the master on the highest plane, he can never be more than a very good amateur. The keeper is a specialist. Within the limits of his duties, a keeper should know all that is to be known, and in the majority of cases should know infinitely more than his master. This ideal can only be reached if a keeper bases his knowledge and his work on the possibility of his master being an absolute ignoramus on all matters, not even excepting the handling of a gun." More generally, Mackie observes, there is in "[ball] games a competitive or a team play spirit which, admirable in itself, is something apart from the essential quality of real sport. We must not be led to confuse the narrower and more specialised outlook and training of the athlete with the very much higher craft of the hunter. The one is an accomplishment, the other in a much wider sense a liberal education." Other contributers given on the title-page are: Lord Malise Graham, Captain H. Shaw Kennedy, Dr Charles Reid, H. Burn Murdoch, P.D. Malloch, Henry Lamond, Tom Speedy, Dr Arnold Jones.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Authored by an avid sportsman, this book delves into the fascinating world of gamekeeping. Published at a time of rapid social change that greatly influenced the sport, this book acknowledges the elitism that can accompany the pursuit.

Acknowledging the inherently controversial nature of hunting, its author provides a unique perspective from the gamekeeper's point of view. The author himself, an experienced sportsman, takes an honest look at the ethical nature of the sport and comprehensively examines every aspect of the role of a gamekeeper. Filled with firsthand accounts and anecdotes, this book is a must-have for any serious sportsman, whether they are a participant or seek a deeper understanding of the sport.
