Harting's Hints on the Management of Hawks and Practical Falconry

Imprint unknown

Excerpt from Bibliotheca Accipitraria: A Catalogue of Books Ancient and Modern Relating to Falconry, With Notes, Glossary and Vocabulary On examining the titles of all these works, two things are particularly striking - first, the great antiquity of Falconry; and secondly, its widespread practice. The origin of the art it is now impossible to discover. From the earliest times of which history takes cognizance people of all nations, but more particularly those of Eastern origin, have practised the sport, and we may form some idea of its antiquity from Sir Henry Layard's discovery of a has relief amongst the ruins of Khorsabad, in which a falconer is represented carrying a hawk upon his fist. From this he has inferred that hawking was practised there some I 700 years before the Christian era. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
