What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The eighth edition of this work, edited by J. G. Dollman and J. B. Burlace. 

With in-text illustrations throughout. 

Ward's 'Records' was a valuable resource for hunters as field guides, providing a detailed handbook for knowing what mammals could be found worldwide across the Empire. 

This work contains measurements of game animals worldwide and was the pioneering book of its kind. In addition to measurements there are anecdotes from hunters and naturalists regarding species, geographical variations, subspecies, weights and measurements. 

Rowland Ward was an influential taxidermist, and  a well known publisher of natural history and big hunting volumes.

Four pages of adverts to the rear.
