Eleventh edition.
PREFACE. “OVER forty years have elapsed since the publication of the first edition of The Sportsman's Handbook. During this period great changes have taken place, and many new hunting grounds have been opened up. Much irrelevant and superfluous matter has been omitted from the present edition, which aims at giving the collector the best practical information for preserving his trophies from the moment they are killed.”
