The Art and Practice of Hawking is a comprehensive guide to the ancient sport of falconry, written by Edward Blair Michell and originally published in 1900. The book covers all aspects of falconry, from the history and traditions of the sport to the breeding, training, and care of birds of prey. Michell provides detailed instructions for the handling and use of various kinds of hawks, falcons, and eagles, as well as practical advice on equipment, hunting techniques, and the ethics of falconry. The book also includes fascinating accounts of Michell's own experiences as a falconer, as well as stories and anecdotes from other falconers throughout history. This classic work is an essential resource for anyone interested in the art and practice of falconry, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the world of this ancient and noble sport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
