Bert's Treatise on Hawks and Hawking J E Harting

This special re-print edition of the 1891 Edition of Edmund Bert's book "Bert's Treatise on Hawks and Hawking" has not been available to fans of falconry since it first appeared on the scene back in 1891. Mr. Bert's famous work on falconry was originally published in 1619. Early devotees of falconry demanded reprints for centuries, but their cries for the information contained in it went unheard until 1891 when J. E. Harting of London finally re-published the book. The demand for this rare book has brought forth the much needed reprint of this famous classic falconry work. Bert's Treatise on Hawks and Hawking will shed considerable light on the history of the management of hawks and falcons for the sport of falconry, including age old techniques. Note that this text is written in Bert's original Old English, which is less concise to the modern reader than more contemporary works. Note: This public domain edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background. This edition is reprinted in accordance to Federal Law.
