This antiquarian volume contains an extensive handbook on all manner of rural sports, including shooting, hunting, coursing, fishing, hawking, racing, boating, and pedestrianism. It contains a wealth of timeless sporting knowledge that is sure to prove as useful today as it was at the time of its original publication. "British Rural Sports" would make for a worthy addition to any collection, and is not to be missed by the serious sportsman. John Henry Walsh was a prolific English writer of sports-news who often wrote under the pen-name "Stonehenge". This book was originally published in 1886. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
