THE SPORTSMAN'S DICTIONARY

 

(HUNTING)  THE SPORTSMAN'S DICTIONARY; OR, THE GENTLEMAN'S COMPANION.          

London: Fielding and Walker, 1778. 4to. Contemporary calf. Frontispiece, Unpaginated, 15 plates. First edition.

Often confused with a 1735 book by the same title, this is a separate work entirely.  Subjects include riding, hunting, fowling, fishing, racing, farriery, and hawking.  Illustrated with fifteen engraved plates.  Sympathetically rebacked.  Early name in ink on front blank.  Very good.
