EN PROD wW C1 ON:

So many books have been written upon guns and shooting
that no apology is needed for publishing a guide to them.
Incomplete and inadequate as the compilation may be, it
is better than none at all; for, if practical utility be the
standard by which to measure the value of technical books,
few will rank higher in the estimation of students than do
bibliographies.

To the book collector this work will be probably of little
value: it was compiled for the use of a writer, not a book
buyer, and is both conceived and arranged with a view to
best serving the needs of the student.

Having departed from the customary method of arrange-
ment, a short explanation is desirable. The classification
of books according to the accident of the initial letter of the
name of the person writing them entails much additional
labour upon all who consult a bibliography in order to
identify a book, instead of for information concerning the
writer of it; the arrangement of books alphabetically by
titles is equally objectionable; and the method of Rumpf,
who classed the books in accordance with their size, is
worst of all. The classification by authors’ names is a
survival: in days when authors were few, men of erudition
were supposed to know at least the names of all, and
doubtless possessed some idea as to the dates at which the
various authors wrote. Now authors are numerous, and
the persons who most often consult a bibliography, what-

ever their knowledge of the subject, are rarely well
acquainted with the names of the persons who have written
upon it. Moreover, in the history of firearms it is the date,
and in technical matters the fact, which is all-important,
the personality of the author being frequently of no moment
whatever. Learned persons may at once recognise Walter
in Valturius and Greaves in Gravius, but learned persons
are not likely to take so much interest in guns and shooting
as are class journalists, technical instructors, and gun-
makers—persons who are not learned in the dry-as-dust
sense. Another trouble with names, particularly foreign
names, is to recognise the important designation : Alenzo
Martinez del Espinar would, in accordance with the British
Museum rules of indexing, have to be sought in the
catalogue under D, the portion of the name least likely to
be remembered. With some double names, particularly
those of Austrian writers, it is customary to place the
Christian, or added, name after the family name—a process
of inversion which human powers of recollection often
perform automatically, and after a short time recall Alvarez
Perez as Perez Alvarez. In order to save the time of the
student, in the alphabetical list of authors some authors
have more than one entry, owing to the persistence with
which the added name surged up into memory, whilst the
correct index name could not be recollected.

Clearly, for the student of history classification by dates
is likely to be more convenient. If the student wishes to
learn what was known of firearms in the seventeenth
century, it is better to turn to a catalogue of the works
published at that time than to search through many lists
of unknown names, and often, upon choosing a writer,
consult the work only to find that it belongs to another
period. In the same way the language in which books are
written is of minor importance, and the size of the book

Introduction. 3

probably of no account whatever. Therefore, in the first
part of this bibliography, which is devoted to ancient books
—those published between 1450 and 1850—the order is
mainly chronological ; but the books of the last century are
subdivided into English and Foreign, and those of the first
half of the present century into English, French, German,
Italian, and Spanish.

In dealing with modern books a different classification is
advisable. To most it is of the first importance to learn
whether the book is written in English—if not, in what
language it is written; or to know what technical books
exist in any particular language. The subdivisions in this
second part therefore deal in the first place with books in
English—those relating to arms generally, to particular
descriptions of arms, to the technicalities of gun-making,
to the proof of guns, to ballistics or gunnery, to the art of
shooting with gun and rifle, and, lastly, to sport with the
gun at home and abroad. The same method of subdividing
is adhered to with French and German books, and, in a
minor degree, with those of Italy and Spain.

No bibliography of practical proportions could be produced
unless many works were purposely excluded. In this com-
pilation books will be found which at first sight will appear
to have no right of entry as long as others are excluded ;
but there are publications with misleading or too compre-
hensive titles which need to be specified in order that time
may not be wasted by referring to certain books owing to a
misconception of their nature. ‘The Rifle and how to use
it,’ by J. V. Bridgeman, is no indication that the work is a
farce, and originally performed at the Haymarket in 1859.
A docket to this effect will save the student time and the
librarian useless labour.

The exclusion extends in a complete manner to modern
military treatises dealing with ordnance, those of a general

4 Introduction.

TES IEE a a
nature, and those for the most part devoted to the art of
war, fortification and military tactics; all such works are
enumerated in the military bibliographies, which may be
readily consulted. Many sporting works, in which some-
thing is said of firearms and shooting, have also had to be
passed by, and only a bare hundred out of the many recent
works devoted to sport abroad have been selected. Foreign
sporting works, of little technical interest, have also been
omitted; the reader needing them may advantageously
consult the more general bibliography of Souhait. Russian
sporting books have been excluded ; it must not, however,
be inferred that Russia has no literature of this description,
only that the typographical difficulties were considerable,
and the interest at present taken in Russian books of the
class infinitesimal. The bibliographical notices in “ Priroda
y Ohhota” and in the service periodicals will probably be
sufficient for the purposes of the few readers likely to require
to consult Russian sporting books.

The appendices contain a short bibliography of works
relating to explosives, such works having been selected as
likely to prove of the greatest service to the student of the
history of guns and shooting ; lists of the most noteworthy
technical papers read before learned societies ; and an index
to technical articles in various periodicals. The student
of history will find short references to works dealing with
the archeology of firearms, a list of catalogues of various
collections of arms, and also the titles of various biblio-
graphies, which may be of use in supplementing the one
now presented.

The introduction of firearms into Europe preceded the
invention of printing by nearly two centuries; but the
earliest manuscripts which treated of guns were subsequently
printed, or, like those of Cataneo, were lost. As is well
known, the first mention of the use of firearms in England,

Introduction. 5

contained in a contemporary record, is found in the inden-
ture of John Starlyng and Helmyng Leget, dated 1338, and
referring to the equipment of the King’s ships Bernard de la
Tour and Christofre de la Tour; but there are several who
wrote of their use in the past tense; as John Barbour, who
in 1375 stated of the Scotch that in 1327—

“Twa noweltys that dai thai saw
That forouth in Scotland had bene nane
Tymmris for helmys war the tane,
That thaim thoucht than off grete bewte
And alsua wondre for to se.
The tothyr crakys war off wer
That thai befor herd nevir er.”

The use of firearms seems to have been so widely known
in Chaucer’s time as to warrant that writer in drawing a
simile for great velocity from the flight of a shot, thus:

“ Swift as a pillet out of a gonne
When fire is in the pouder ronne.”

At least a score separate and distinct treatises on firearms,
gunpowder or matters incidental to their employment, had
been written and published on the Continent before an
English work on the subject was produced. To William
Bourne, who in 1587 published the “ Arte of Shootinge in
Great Ordnance” belongs the honour of first place; his
little book of 94 pages contained much that was original,
and served as a basis for several better known and more
pretentious works.

On the Continent the literature of the art of war has
always been more extensive than in England ; and military
science was one of the few subjects which could be treated
liberally. True, the works were dedicated to, and that is
to say, were not only under the patronage of, but were
practically supported by, some strong ruler; and the

6 Introduction.

strong ruler was ordinarily a successful warrior whose
achievements were lavishly extolled in the works. To
this class must be ascribed the book of Valturius and some
of the treatises written by Cataneo, Colliado, and Tartaglia.
The more practical among this class of writers gave instruc-
tions for the manufacture of cannon, gunpowder, projectiles
and military fireworks ; for in those days, when it was usual
to build a cannon at the place where it was to be used, and
to break it up after it had served in the one siege, the
science of gun construction was a necessary part of the
knowledge of a good commander. Another class of writer
was that to which W. Bourne belonged, the practical
gunner. Very numerous are the treatises on the art of
aiming cannon, and the instruction of the “perfect canoneer”
seems to have included always a careful grounding in
elementary arithmetic and plane geometry. Thus the
historian and philosopher on the one hand repeated the
lore of ancient military commanders, with the addition of
elementary facts drawn from recent experiences, and some-
times gave indications of the application of natural law
to the flight of projectiles; and on the other, master
gunners wrote practical instructions for the acquisition
of a difficult art and the study of elementary mathematics.
It was not until the epoch-marking book of Benjamin
Robins appeared, in 1742, that theoretical gunnery received
particular attention from the writers of technical books ;
from that date the works on artillery, instead of containing
rule-of-thumb descriptions, like those of Ufano, Saint
Julien, Gaya, and Siemenowicz, treated the principles of
gunnery more in the modern scientific manner.

With reference to the manufacture of small arms, not
so much was written, but more probably than was written
of any other industrial art. It is hardly to be expected
that any practical art can have a considerable literature ;

if

for what the skilled workman learns by practice he cannot
impart by verbal descriptions, even were he so minded.
When hand firearms came into general use the trade guilds
were already firmly established, and a separate guild, that
of gunmakers, was not possible in all centres, because the
existing guilds of the smiths and the carpenters divided the
work between them, and were jealous of any interference
with their privileges. As the “art and mystery” of
gunmaking was not recognised until the end of the
seventeenth century, and as arms were considered national
in the sense that their manufacture could be improved and
their form changed without incurring the enmity of manu-
facturing corporations, firearms developed quickly. Cataneo
wrote a treatise informing how the processes of manufacture
should be carried on, Bossi told how to improve the prin-
ciple of construction, and Jacquinet showed how the finished
weapon should be ornamented ; all before any Gunmakers’
Company was chartered in England, and when the Suhl
gunmakers were petitioning for incorporation. Not that
the inventor’s lot was any more happy in the seventeenth
century than in the nineteenth. Poor Bossi, who appears
to have been a genius and determined upon perfecting the
double-barrelled gun, started from his native Rome to try
his fortune in Flanders, even then a centre of the firearms
industry. His success there appears to have been poor,
for he subsequently tried Paris and other centres, and the
double gun remained an unappreciated invention.

Quite apart from these writers of treatises upon firearms
from the military standpoint, there remain to be con-
sidered the champions of the gun as a sporting weapon.
Although, as Sidney Smith states, the tenth Muse is
courted in this country more assiduously than in any other,
and although the earliest known manuscript in the English
language is upon a sporting topic, and the first ‘“ boke ”

8 Introduction.

in our tongue likewise devoted to a princely pastime,
there are no English writers upon sport with firearms
until late in the seventeenth century. Pablo del Fucar
and Erasmo di Valvasone had both treated of the use of
firearms for sporting purposes in the sixteenth century ;
Tamariz de la Escaler and Vita Bonfadini had written
treatises on the art of wing shooting long before Blome
produced his great tome and taught how to creep within
range of jugging partridges and pot them unawares.

The “ Maison Rustique” was the precursor of the country
encyclopedia, of which Blome’s book was a fair specimen,
and a variety of which is still with us,—even to-day
“ British Rural Sports” is on the railway bookstalls,—but
these early compilations were far from being the thorough
works modern encyclopedias have become, now that each
article is contributed by an expert and constitutes not
seldom the best monograph extant on the subject treated.
The early cyclopedias were put together by the publisher’s
hack, and the student in search of original facts and reliable
information will do well to avoid them and choose some of
the less pretentious publications.

The poets have contributed not a few lines to firearms.
The epic on the chase was a favourite essay for Italian
writers. It was a congenial theme with the much-satirised
poet laureate Pye; and though his verse is far from
approaching in interest the better known “ Chace” of W.
Somerville, he is far from being the worst author of metrical
lines on shooting. Watts wrote facetiously, and Aldington
heavily and seriously; Francis Fawkes and K. McLemon
have not made their names immortal by their poems on
sport with the gun; but, notwithstanding their example
and lack of success, verse on the subject is still being
produced.

An important class of authors has been recruited from

Introduction. ~)

the ranks of the gunmakers. Bossi and Jacquinet in the
seventeenth, Page and Baker in the eighteenth, Brandeis,
Deane, Dougall, and three generations of Greeners in the
nineteenth centuries, have each and all had practical ex-
perience of the trade, and, taken collectively, may be said
to have contributed the greater part of the original matter
found in the technical literature of the firearms industry.
It is surprising, even to one acquainted with literary
plagiarism, to note the persistency with which information
on technical and sporting matters was annexed in the
“good old days,” and palmed off as first-hand authority.
The much-extolled Marolles, whose essay of 1784 was
translated into English and has been constantly quoted,
drew freely upon Vita Bonfadini and Tamariz de la Escaler,
less from Spadoni, Juan Mateos, and Martinez del Espinar,
leaving the original matter to be gathered by interviewing
some Parisian gunmakers and listening to the gossip of
sporting friends. Again, what a mine of wealth to the
writer on field sports Colonel P. Hawker’s ‘“ Instructions ”
has proved !

To another class belong the authors who, at the com-
mencement of this century, were so infatuated with Scottish
sports as to create a special literature. Very poor is the
quality of much that was produced in the passion of the
time. ‘ Unreal in fact and artificial in form” is likely to
be the verdict of posterity upon the productions of even the
best of the writers ; though to state it mow would probably
bring angry retorts from the sportsmen still living to
whom the craving for northern field sports was once no
imaginary desire.

Better, in the sense of being more practical, than Wilson
are the reminiscences of Scrope; better, in the sense of
being more natural, are Colquhoun of ‘ Moor and Loch”
and Lloyd of “ Northern Europe”; but worse, from the

10 Introduction.

literary point of view, are many works even more recently
issued. In truth, the ancient fire appears to have almost
burnt out, and such light as is shed by the glow of dying
embers shows that the love of sport which animated such
writers as Scrope and Colquhoun no longer burns within
the breast of the modern sportsman-author. Scotch shooting
appears more as a fashion, deerstalking a function, and
grouse-shooting an exhibition in which the society man,
and often the society woman, is expected to share. It
would be wrong to attribute the change to the want of
skill in the writers; they do but reflect the tendency of
the times. Indications are not wanting to show that the
special craving, or that stimulus to action which only the
sport of shooting can appease, no longer occurs with the
frequency it did half a century ago. Shooting is now but a
means to an end: the end may be some social excitement
among a country house party, or it may be the collection
of a wild Thibetan camel for a natural history museum ;
but the prompting does not arise purely from the love of
sport,—as it once did, if our authors are to be believed. To
many, a life of adventure is a necessity; when the shooting
of large game is also a way of earning money, no wonder
men enter into the business as upon any other career ; but
to large game hunting for commercial purposes an end will
quickly come unless game is more efticiently protected than
was the American bison. The percentage of sportsmen
to whom the agony of a buffalo dropped to their rifle is
a sight to remember with pleasure, is small, and to the
majority of these a stalk in Chillingham Park would
probably be as pleasurable as an expedition to Central
Africa. On the other hand, there is a very large and
rapidly growing community for whom all things living in a
state of nature have a powerful attraction. To many men
it would afford more real enjoyment to get close to a herd

of deer and observe their habits than to stalk within range
for a pot shot. These men, who would hunt with the camera,
and prefer to bring back a good negative showing large
game sporting in native haunts, rather than an elephant’s
tail or a tiger’s skin, have no sympathy with the sportsmen
whose only object is to kill, and who by dissociating
themselves from woodcraft and its attractions, have killed
their desire for sport, and require only to glut their craving
for blood or win approbation for their marksmanship.

Thus it seems probable that, for the purposes of sport as
for the purposes of war, the hand firearm is rapidly reaching
the close of its day. To those to whom the literature of
field sports written half a century ago is familiar, it will
seem impossible that the enthusiasm can have died out ; and
to those to whom the rifleman of the fifties was the hero
and saviour the hysterical writing of those times proclaimed
him, it would never occur that the man with the gun is to
be of quite secondary importance in the wars of the future.
It would be idle to argue that shooting will not long con-
tinue as a sport with some classes, and that the infantry
man will not again do excellent service in guerilla warfare ;
but the contention deduced from contemporary literature,
and not now advanced for the first time, is that the hand
firearm, both for purposes of sport and as a military
weapon, will not, in the early future, be regarded as pos-
sessing the importance attributed to it in the recent past.
The delight of sports afield will be more keenly enjoyed by
the man in closer harmony with nature than the modern
skilled wing shot; and, in the event of war occurring
between civilised nations, the machine gun and an endless
variety of automatically acting mechanical contrivances to
insure the defence of the party attacked will have superseded
the infantry man.

But firearms, both sporting and military, at present

12 Introduction.

engage the attention of the most clever among a generation
of able mechanical inventors; in the manufacture of guns
there is expended some of the best skilled labour the century
has produced, and whatever its future may prove, none can
deny the present achievements of a notable industry. To
the historian, firearms, of all weapons, will present master-
ful attraction; the part they have played in the world’s
history is too great ever to be ignored, even should the
part they have yet to play prove to be one of minor
importance.

Translated from the French by G. 8. Shelvock. The
translator states that the book in the original or any
Latin edition could not be procured, so he was forced
to translate from the French edition (Amsterdam,

and obsolete ... it is the most carelessly printed
book I ever saw.” It was compared with a German
edition (Frankfort, 1676). This book was for long the
standard work on artillery. It contains: Book I.,
xiil. ch. on the calibre; Book II., xxxii. ch. concerning

London, 1814. 4to.

415.—Instructions to Youne SporrsmMEN in all that
relates to Guns and Shooting. Peter Hawker. Pro-
bably the best known book on the subject. It was
written, the author states, “at the particular request
of some sporting friends of the author, who had
recourse to the press in order to present each of them
with a legible copy. A few supplementary impressions
also were provided for the amusement and instruction
of the inexperienced sportsman”; and eleven editions
were published between 1814 and 1859. The first
is very rare, the third is the best early edition, the
ninth the most full. Subsequent to the author's death,
his son, P. W. L. Hawker, edited the work, and the
contents were abridged. The third edition is 8vo, has
470 pp., 10 lithographed plates, 4 coloured, a list of
London gunmakers, remarks on the Game Laws, and
some natural history notes; but the chief value of the
book arises from the practical information given, the
results of original experiments, particulars of “timely
inventions,” and the opinions of gunmakers. There is
very little superfluous anecdote, and not so much
argumentative writing as in sporting books of the
time. Printed by Charles Wood, Poppin’s Court,
Fleet Street, for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown
and Green. 1814, 8vo; 1816, 1824, 1825, 1826, 1830
corrected, 1844, 1854, edited by P. W. L. Hawker,

1859. A supplement containing the additions to the
fourth edition was published in 1825, and an Abridg-
ment of the Game Laws, with suggestions, being an
Appendix to the sixth edition, was published in 1831.
The book is not rare, and is worth about 10s.

416.—Nortices to all Sportsmen, and particularly to
Farmers and Gamekeepers. Colonel George Hanger.
This is a medley of recipes, including remarks on
‘‘fowling-pieces, rifle-guns ; and muskets rifle-shooting ;

so as to fire more sure than if fresh loaded; methods
of netting partridges, to prevent poaching, to stalk
red deer, to shoot wild fowl, remarks on the rifle-
breach, ete., ete.; to which is added, A plan for train-
ing and developing a corps such as never yet has
appeared in any army of Europe, armed with a pecu-
liar gun which will shoot with the precision of a rifle
one-third farther than any rifle hitherto used on
service, and can also be loaded with cartridges and
fired as quick as a common musket.” This book gives
much information respecting small-bore American
rifles, from which the ‘‘express” principle is supposed
to have been developed. J. J. Stockdale, London,
1814. 8vo, 226 pp.; price 12s.

417.—Report: Manton v. Parker. The case for Joseph
Manton’s improved gun lock, heard at Westminster
July 6th, 1814, relates to the formation of the hammer,
which allows the air to escape when loading, but stops
egress of powder. The judge said, “It seems to me
that the utility of this invention and the purpose of
the patent wholly fail.” W. Clarke & Sons, London,
1814. 8vo, 65 pp., and plate of gun hammers.

of Small Firearms. Wélliam Greener. The first of
Mr. Greener’s books, and the most original work on
the subject published this century. Colonel G. Hawker
considered it “ by far the best work ever wrote on the
subject.” The author had much difficulty in procuring
correct illustrations, and the publication was in con-
sequence long delayed. In apologising for the delay
in the preface he adds ‘“ Should it be objected that the
book is too thin for the price, he has only to say that
had it been half the thickness, he would not have
thought of charging it one farthing less ; the immensely
expensive scale upon which his experiments have been
conducted have, in a great measure, been ruinous to
himself.” The book was written in Newcastle about
1832, and printed in Sunderland in 1834. Dedicated

correcting the mistake was inserted in copies issued
after. There seems to have been a charge of plagiarism
made by Wilkinson, for Greener retorts: “I have
already shown that Mr. Wilkinson is wrong in a many

Gottfr. Basse, Quedlinburg & Leipzig, 1832. This
book of 84 pp. and three plates of drawings somewhat
belies its title. It consists for the most part of de-
scriptions of new inventions, translations of newspaper
articles and excerpts from technical papers. It has
an Wlustrated description of a double-barrelled breech-
loading fowling-piece furnished with a safety lock.
Alsoa description of an intercepting safety bolt working
from a lever on the hand of the gun-stock, for which
invention we are informed that Dr. Romershaufen
received the Civil-Verdienst-orden from his Majesty.
The book contains interesting details of improvements
in gun-locks, the manufacture of detonating balls,
fulminating powder, and copper caps ; also of thread-
wound shot cartridges, experiments with wire car-
tridges, the oval bore, etc. The gun factories at Tulle
and Votka (Viatka) are described in detail; but with
the exception of recipes for browning gun-barrels the
technical instruction is wanting.

book is devoted to practical directions for barrel
making, browning, smith’s work, hardening and tem-
pering; the second to the fitting of the patent
breech, lock-making, sight-filing, and particulars of
the percussion system. The illustrations consist of
twelve 8vo pages of lithographs of gun parts, furniture,

late Mr. W. Greener’s books. It is a compendious
treatise of rifles, cannon and sporting arms, the science
of gunnery and criticisms of new inventions; full of
controversial matter; and although embodying “ The
Gun,” is inferior in point of originality to previous
works of the same author. Smith, Elder & Co.,

dices, folding frontispiece.

1005.—TuHE SHor Gun anp Sportine Riritzr. By “ Stone-
henge” (i.e. J. H. Walsh). When the author of “ British
Rural Sports ” undertook the editorship of the Field in
1857, he found it necessary to inaugurate two gun
trials, to settle the breechloader and muzzleloader
controversy ; and being thereby thrown into close
intimacy with gunmakers, the author determined to
set forth from the sportsman’s point of view all
respecting guns and shooting. The contents are:
“The Theory of Gunnery”; “The Shot Gun” and “The
Sporting Rifle”; “‘Game, the Animals used in the Pur-
suit of it” ; “‘ Methods of Preserving ;” ‘‘ Present Game
Laws.” The book is not of equal value to the later
works of the writer; it is less technical, more popular
in style, and less dogmatic, and is of course quite out
of date as a practical sporting guide, and inferior to
other books of the same period as a technical work of
reference to arms. Routledge, Warne & Co., London,
1859. 8vo, 448 pp., woodcuts, n.e. 1862.

1012.—Moprern BreEcuuoapers, Sporting and Military.
W. W. Greener. The first of a numerous series of
technical books by the Birmingham gunmaker, who
was son of and “successor to William Greener, C.E.,
author of ‘The Gun, etc.” The Field, in its second
notice of this work, said: ‘‘The whole book is useful
without being pretentious, at the same time giving
full information up to the latest date on all questions
connected with guns and rifles.” The book was very
successful, and the best of its kind at that date,
although inferior to some of Mr. Greener’s later books.
It has 135 illustrations of breechloading mechanisms
and parts. Cassell, London, 1871. Crown 8vo, 242
pp., cloth, 7s. 6d. ; second edition, 1874, reprint with
appendix.

1014.—SnHootine: its Appliances, Practice, and Purpose.
J. D. Dougall. This is the best edition of “ Shooting
Simplified,” and embodies all the later experience of a
painstaking experimentalist and indefatigable student.
The illustrations are inadequate, the notes profuse,
and the style often discursive; but the book contains
too much original information to be undervalued.

improvements ever made in the shooting of sporting
guns.” Contains full information respecting shot guns
of the description introduced by the author in 1874,
with instructions for loading them and using to best
advantage ; many reports of trials, tests, etc. ; but the
history of the invention is inferior to that subsequently
given with fuller descriptions. Cassell & Co., London,
1876. 8vo, 215 pp., woodcuts and numerous folding
diagrams, tables, etc., detached facsimile targets in
pockets of cover, 7s. 6d.

1016.—THE Gun AnD ITs DEVELOPMENT, with Notes on

Shooting. W. W. Greener. This is the standard work
for all that relates to the history of hand firearms,
their varieties, manufacture, capabilities. It is a com-
pilation by a well-known Birmingham gunmaker, but
contains a large amount of original matter. The book
has had a larger sale than all other gun books put
together: of the first edition alone three thousand
copies were issued, and five editions were quickly
exhausted. The contents include a history of firearms,
descriptions and illustrations of the chief types of
ancient and modern arms, methods of manufacture,
proot of arms, ballistics of rifles and of shot guns, gun
trials, theories, experiments; gunpowder, explosives,
cartridges, shot, targets, etc., etc.; the work being in
fact a cyclopedia of all relating to guns and shooting.
The “notes” consist of instructions in the art of
shooting at the target, at game, and of wing and trap
shooting, and a gazetteer of the shooting grounds and
game resorts of both hemispheres. Cassell & Co.,
London, 1881. Extra fcap. 4to, 675 pp., 400 wood-
cuts, cloth, gilt, 21s.; now scarce. Second edition,
1884, 740 pp., cloth, plain. Third edition, 1885,

third edition. Fifth edition, 1892, 742 pp. Sixth
edition, announced, 1894, 700 pp., 10s. 6d. The third
edition is probably the best. French and Russian
translations have been published. See Nos. 1506, 1922.

Guns and Shooting—Gunmaking, ete. 89

1017.—Mopern Sportsman’s Gun AND RiFie. J. H. Walsh.
Vol. I.: “Game and Wildfowl Guns.” This is a
comprehensive work on sporting guns; contains full
descriptions of many varieties, most being well illus-
trated with carefully executed woodcuts. The theo-
retical portion is cleverly written, and the value of the
results obtained at the various gun and explosives
trials promoted by the author is well stated. There
is no history of guns. The chief contents are:
“Requirements of the Sportsman’s Gun for his various
purposes,” “ Trials of the Gun,” ‘Construction of the
Gun,” “The Hammered Breechloader,” “The Ham-
merless,” ‘‘ Explosives, Shot, Cartridges and Loading.”
Book IT., “ Punt Guns.” There is also a Glossary,
Appendices on ‘“ Siemens’ Steel for Gun-barrels ” and
‘** Choke-boring by Compression,” and a capital Index.
The excellent woodcuts are the feature of the work.

devoted to small firearms. Republican Press, Washing-

1019.—Sportine Firearms, for Bush and Jungle. F. F. R.
Burgess. “ Hints to intending griffs and colonists on
the purchase, care and use of firearms, with useful
notes on sporting rifles, etc.” Some commonplace re-
marks, rather superfluous advice, and poor illustrations
drawn by the author. The last chapter, treating of
Indian experiences, is the best. W. H. Allen, London,

partridge shooting, pheasant shooting, rearing, rabbit
shooting, vermin, keepers, poachers and poaching, dogs
and dog breaking, pigeon shooting from traps; index.
The chapter on trap shooting is the best in the volume,
which is, however, a readable compilation, well illus-
trated and carefully indexed. Vol. II.—‘ Moor and
Marsh.” Contains grouse, black game, deer stalking,
deer forests, woodcock, snipe, wildfowl, surface-feeding
ducks, diving ducks, waders, rails and cranes, shore
shooting, punting, fowling punts, swivel guns, a little
plain law for game preservers, index. There is also a
short bibliography of wildfowling ; but, on the whole,
the volume is inferior to the former; it is cleverly
illustrated. Longmans, London, 1886. 8vo; vol. i.,
358 pp.; vol. ii., 348 pp.; price 10s. 6d. each vol.

1023.—Mopern Suor Guns. W. W. Greener. The sporting

gun treated historically, descriptively, analytically,
technically, specifically, critically, and_ practically.
Additional chapters on ammunition and trap shooting.
This is by far the most scientific of Mr. Greener’s
books, and the best written; it contains in a small
compass all that sportsmen wish to know of the
varieties of sporting weapons and of their capabilities.
Cassell & Co., London, 1888. Large 8vo, 192 pp., wood-
euts and diagrams, cloth, 5s. Another edition, 1891,
202 pp., additional. illustrations, 5s.; also editions in
German, Spanish and Italian. The English editions
are not now easily obtainable.

1024.—Lerters to Youna Suoorers. Sir Ralph Payne-

study.” Not so technical as most of Mr. Greener’s
books; consists of nine chapters descriptive of guns,
instructions for their use, shooting etiquette, art of
shooting on wing, trap shooting, etc., etc. The price
is nominal, as the work is well printed in large type

found in all books of African travel put together, and
is a capital volume. The second is not so good, and is
more general; but the Indian section, by R. H. Percy,
is very well done and as fully as could be expected.
Arctic Hunting, by Arnold Pike, is capital, and so are
the chapters on the Caucasian Aurochs, the Ovis
Argali of Mongolia and the Ovis Poli of the Pamir, by
S. G. Littledale. Scandinavian elk shooting, by Sir
H. Pottinger, is comprehensive, and the chapters on
the Caucasus, camp transport, ete., by C. Phillips-
Wolley, are in his best style. The remaining sections
are devoted to Chamois, the Stag of the Alps, by
W. Baillie-Grohman; European Big Game, by A. H.
Percy and the Earl of Kilmorey; The Large
Game of Spain and Portugal, by A. Chapman and
W. J. Buck; Taxidermy; and Notes on Rifles and
Ammunition. These volumes are not a cyclopedia of
large game shooting, but they treat of the most
popular hunting grounds in an admirable manner,
The books are well illustrated, and have both indices
and a short bibliography. The natural history notes
might have been omitted, and sport in the Malay
Peninsula, Java, Borneo, etc., substituted with ad-
vantage. Longmans, 1894. 8vo; vol. i, 453 pp.;

1042.—Gunsmitn’s Manuat. J. P. Stelle and W. B. Harvri-
son. Described as a “Complete Handbook for the
American Gunsmith, being a practical guide to all
branches of the trade.” This book is really a collec-
tion of workshop recipes and hints, and is designed
to furnish such information as shall be of most use
as a guide to the everyday conduct of the shop, and
for such demands or emergencies as are liable to
challenge the skill of the workmen. It does not
assume to guide the skilled manufacturer in the
management of a large factory; it is intended rather
as a guide to the workman in acquiring, first, a prac-
tical knowledge in every branch of his calling; and,
secondly, in the proper conduct of his business when
he is established in a shop of his own. The work
covers descriptions of guns and pistols, gun-stocks, gun-
barrels, tools for breeching guns, tools for chambering
breechloading barrels; gun-ribs, thimbles, rifling guns,
gun-locks, fitting gun-hammers, nipples or cones,
springs, rods, bullet moulds, serew-making tools, and
in fact everything necessary to the instruction of the
working gunsmith in his handicraft. Jesse Haney
& Co., New York, 1883. 8vo, 376 pp., 3 folding
plates, woodcuts, ete., in text; price $2.

‘T.”” The Mechanical Construction of the Sporting
Rifle and its Ammunition,” ‘“ Modern Rifled Pistols,”
“Match or Target Rifle and its Ammunition.” This
book contains by far the best introduction to scientific
gunnery; its fault is that it is too technical and
elaborate for the firearms maker, and quite beyond
the understanding of the general reader. Copious
extracts are made from the ‘“ Proceedings of the Royal
Society,’ and the work of Professor Bashforth is
utilised. The author acknowledges the assistance
received from the late Mr. F. Osborne, and there are
numerous contributions from gunmakers and others
embodied in the work, which can be regarded as the
best compilation of its kind, and affording the readiest
reference to the multitudinous technical subjects of
which it treats. H. Cox, 1884. Demy 8vo, 544 pp.

‘“‘ mail-coach,” and not for the use of experts. Contains

Gr. 8vo, 464 pp. [This may be regarded as a fair
specimen of a class of sporting book for which there
appears to have been a large demand in France. It is
a book written in the style of a penny-a-liner round
about shooting and natural history rather than of it,
has many literary allusions, and is well studded with
Latin quotations and sporting slang. The illustrations
are in some cases of very fair quality, in others appear
to have been taken from a cheap natural history
book. An advantage of the book as a class was
that it could be divided into various volumes, ‘“ Gibier

published with a coloured lithograph on paper cover. |

._—ArtT oF WitpFowiinc. Abel Chapman. This book

is far more than it professes to be: instead of being
confined to “first lessons,’ it is one of the ablest
treatises on the most general of British sports, and
the one that has of late attracted most attention owing
to the fact that modern methods of shooting gratify
those only who delight in successful marksmanship.
Sportsmen who take pleasure in hunting their game
more and more resort to wildfowling, and the literature
of this branch of the sport of shooting is rapidly
increasing. Mr. Chapman, after devoting twelve
chapters to the practice of wildfowling and the habits
of wildfowl at home and abroad, adds five chapters of
reminiscences, of which the best are “‘Two Seasons on
Home Waters,” and “Two Seasons in Southern Spain.”
Mr. Chapman was part author of “ Wild Spain,” and
his writings afford valuable information for sportsmen
seeking sport near Great Britain. This volume has
thirty-six illustrations by the author, and three by
Charles Whymper. London: H. Cox, 1896. 8vo,
illustrated, 268 pp., 10s. 6d.
