Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Duck Decoys of to-Day, 1918 I am anxious for my readers to quite understand that this small book is not a history of duck decoys, but only a descriptive list of those that are being worked now. The late Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, who, I am sorry to say, has died since I started to write these notes, brought out in 1886 a volume on "The History of Duck Decoys," which then, as now, leaves nothing to be desired. He was quite the greatest authority on decoys and punt shooting. It was only a few weeks before his death he most kindly gave me valuable hints as to the making of a duck trap on the pond here. In his capital book he gives a list of all the known decoys then worked, and made out forty-seven. Since then I find several have ceased to be worked, and I have only been able, notwithstanding much kind help, to find twenty-eight now being worked. I must admit I am quite at a loss to understand that anyone lucky enough to come into a property having a decoy on it should permit it to lapse. Some owners say, "Well, it does not pay"; but one would have thought that even if it did not the giving to one's friends and supplying one's house would have been a recompense for the loss of a few pounds, to say nothing of the delight of seeing scores, nay, hundreds, of ducks on the water during the taking season. It is supposed there were about 200 decoys in Britain early in the nineteenth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the 'decline of community', and the theme of 'community spirit', are internationally widespread in the modern world. The English past has featured many representations of declining community, expressed by those who lamented its loss in quite different periods and in diverse genres. This book analyses how community spirit and the passing of community have been described in the past – whether for good or ill – with an eye to modern issues, such as the so-called 'loneliness epidemic' or the social consequences of alternative structures of community. It does this through examination of authors such as Thomas Hardy, James Wentworth Day, Adrian Bell and H.E. Bates, by appraising detective fiction writers, analysing parish magazines, considering the letter writing of the parish poor in the 18th and 19th centuries, and through the depictions of realist landscape painters such as George Morland. K. D. M. Snell addresses modern social concerns, showing how many current preoccupations had earlier precedents. In presenting past representations of declining communities, and the way these affected individuals of very different political persuasions, the book draws out lessons and examples from the past about what community has meant hitherto, setting into context modern predicaments and judgements about 'spirits of community' today.
