Publisher's original green cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine, color pictorial dust jacket, lg 4to (12 x 8 1/2 inches). The author, William Entwisle, was probably the most important figure ever involved in the Poultry Fancy. He was responsible for introducing many new bantams taking the large fowl which existed and then, by "scientific breeding" he bantamised them. He also established a standard for each breed therefore laying the foundation for the modern day Poultry Club Standards (from the dust jacket flap). This is the "Poultry Classic Reprint" of the original work that was published in 1894. The illustrations are by J. W. Ludlow, one of the outstanding poultry artists of the Victorian era. No ownership marks. Small bump to one outer corner; a bright and clean copy in fine condition is a fine dust jacket.

(Hardcover, 1982). (1981) 1982 reprint. 8vo (162 x 240mm). Ppxiv,142. B/w illustrations from old engravings. Tangerine cloth, spine titled in gilt. Foxing to edges but good-plus in spine-faded dust-wrapper. This is the fascinating autobiography of a Staffordshire poacher in which he gives a detailed account of his life, the condition of the rural population of his day as well as full details of his activities and the methods and techniques he used. Rather a classic in its genre. "This book is about poaching life and the work and knowledge it takes is written mainly for my grandsons. It tells of the hard poverty in this so-called Great Britain in the early years of this [19th] century, in the early twenties and thirties when poverty was widespread throughout the country. I carried on the poaching game from schoolboy days throughout life until disease was deliberately spread over the whole country. What you read in this book is truth and not the rubbish written by some authors. I will explain some of this rubbish as I go along." .
