Shooting: Its Appliances; Practice; and Purpose, London, 1875, 352 pages, with gilt engraving to front board and spine, signed 'Ashburnham 1875' to fly-leaf, bearing bookplate for W.S. Curtis (Bill Curtis) (a little foxing and slight wear to edges of cover)

Probably gifted to Lord Ashburnham by the author in 1875, this is a comprehensive work on the shotgun, manufacture and types, shotgun shooting, and game-birds - mostly in Scotland. A rare book.
