The oldest of field sports explained from both ends: how hawking was practised and written about, and what sort of creature a bird actually is.

A History and Guide to Falconry or Hawking, this anonymous volume sets the sport inside a wider account of birds. It opens well away from the hawking field, with a systematic survey of the bird families, a chapter on their structure and functions, and a popular natural history of the better-known kinds. Only then does it turn to the sport itself, considering hawking first historically and then practically, and closing on the way it is carried on in the field. The author is not named, and the writing has the unhurried, descriptive manner of an older school of natural history.
