ref. elala5528London & New York: Longmans Green And Co. 1893. First Edition. ".the Author was in the habit of setting down almost everything he did thought and said during fifty years adding comments on nearly every shot he fired how he killed and why he missed.There are some very interesting accounts of its writer's journeys to the Continent both before and after the fall of Napoleon and of his expeditions to the North to shoot moor game. The latter records will doubtless entertain sportsmen of the present time when they read of the Colonel's delight at bagging a few brace of grouse at places where how hundreds are killed in one day.Colonel Hawker was the keenest and most hardworking shooter ever known.".
