Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Colonel Peter Hawker 24 November 1786 7 August 1853 was a celebrated diarist and author and a shooting sportsman accounted one of the "great shots" of the 19th century. His sporting exploits were widely followed and on occasion considered worth reporting in The Times. Hawker is best known today for his published works on the sporting activities of shooting wildfowling and fishing. Hawker published his "Advice to Young Sportsmen" in 1814 a popular work with nine impressions in his lifetime the latest paper edition appearing in 1975. Forty years after Hawker's death an Australian book reviewer stated "Probably no book on the subject of sport ever enjoyed so wide or so long sustained a popularity as the Instructions to Young Sportsmen".

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.".
