Excerpt from The Hunter's Handbook: Containing a Description of All Articles Required in Camp With Hints on Provisions and Stores and Receipts for Camp Cooking The want of a cheap, portable and reliable Hand Book devoted to the interior economy of the Hunter's Camp, and more especially to the Art of Camp Cookery, has long been felt. We have some excellent works on Hunting, some of which devote a few pages to these subjects, but these books, in their elaborate bindings, with their numerous illustrations, and costing a considerable sum of money, are better fitted to grace a Drawing Room table, or to occupy places in the Library, than to be carried through the vicissitudes of a campaign. Their usefulness would scarcely compensate the Hunter for the care which he would feel bound to bestow on them in order to keep their beauty unsullied by the unavoidable exposure to dampness, dirt, and the thousand little accidents of Camp life.
