About this book
The Sportsman is a manual on hunting hares, deer and wild boar, including the topics of dogs, and the benefits of hunting for the young. The full title adds On Hunting, a Sportsman's Manual, Commonly Called Cynegeticus. The text says the little creature lies in a small compass, and from fatigue and fear will not get up.
The text speaks of picking up nets, both small and large alike, giving every hound a rub down, and returning home from the hunting-field. The text advises taking care, if it should chance to be a summer's noon, to halt a bit, so that the feet of his hounds may not be blistered on the road. The text holds that it is not words and names that give instruction, but thoughts and sentiments worthy the name.
