271 pages (complete). A good-natured, hearty copy. The front pastedown has an ex-libris plate noting former ownership by Michael Parker, son of Viscount Parker (this being the secondary title of the Earls of Macclesfield). The spine has been repaired with a leather strip. The boards are genial, scuffed and worn. Within, the contents are most pleasing. The sports covered are strictly for gentlemen: fox-hunting, stag-hunting, hare-hunting, otter-hunting, partridge shooting, grouse shooting, pheasant shooting, wild fowling, coaching, tandem driving, coursing, salmon fishing, trout fishing, pike and other fishing polo, deer-stalking and coursing, falconry, racing and steeple-chasing. All are adorned with traditionally minded colour plates by George Denholm Armour. The contents are in excellent condition. They are amiable, clean, clear, confident, sure, generous, clubbable.
