Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun, Vol. 1: With 32 Portraits and Illustrations As to sins of omission, I can only say in defence that I have carefully considered the claims of a long roll of worthies before making my choice, and that I have chosen those whose lives afforded most material for interesting and entertaining biography. There have been some great sportsmen - the late Earl of Malmesbury and his father, for example - whom I would gladly have included in my gallery of portraits, but the information obtainable was so scanty and so devoid of personal interest that I felt the impossibility of making anything readable out of it. I think the names which I have selected are fairly representative of the great experts with Rod, Rifle, and Gun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun, Vol. 1: With 32 Portraits and Illustrations "I am but a gatherer and disposer of other men's stuff." It is thus that Sir Henry Wotton, who was, as his friend and biographer Izaak Walton tells us, "a most dear lover and frequent practiser of the art of angling," and a good poet to boot, modestly describes himself in his preface to "The Elements of Architecture." Without presuming to place myself within measurable distance of so eminent a person, I may apply that description to myself in regard to a great portion of "Kings of the Rod, Rifle, and Gun." But I hope I shall not be thought to overstep the bounds of modesty if I claim credit for something more than compilation in the present work. For, original research has in several cases resulted in my unearthing details and incidents undiscovered by previous biographers, whilst personal knowledge has enabled me to supply anecdotes and facts which have never before appeared in print.
