Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild Beasts of the World, Vol. 2 The Common ohare has for ages attracted the attention of man more than almost any other of the smaller animals of Europe, its excellence as a sporting beast of the chase and a delicacy for the table having particularly commended it to the Greeks and Romans, who thought even more of it in these capacities than we do. For a rodent it is a large animal, weighing from seven to twelve pounds, and its peculiar form, with long ears and short tail, is very distinctive, not only among rodents, but among beasts in general. The slender but powerful limbs, of which the hind pair are much the stronger, bear five toes on the fore and four on the hind feet, and have the pads covered with hair. The teeth differ from those of most rodents, in that there are two pairs of incisors in the upper jaw instead of one; but the second pair are very small, and are set behind the great centre pair, so that they are neither noticeable nor useful. The coat of the Hare does not vary much in colour, though occasional black and white Specimens have been recorded, and a very pretty silver-grey variety sometimes occurs, in which the tawny yellow ground of the fur is replaced by white, the black ticking remaining. In the northern part of its range the Hare shows some tendency to turn white in Winter. It is essentially a European animal, being generally distributed over Europe, and not found outside it; in certain European countries, also, it is absent - in North Russia, Scandinavia, and Ireland, though in the last-named it has been artificially introduced in a few places. Artificial introduction, also, has established it in New Zealand where II. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Beasts and Their Ways, Vol. 1: Reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa and America Many years have passed since the love of sport and natural history influenced my early life; thank God, I cannot yet exclaim, The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, although increasing years have weighted the activity which in youth was the charm of a hunter's being. The only advantage which years possess is the long experience of the past, as theories which were uncertain have been proved by facts. When a title is worded Wild Beasts and their Ways, it may be inferred that the wild beasts are to be killed, and that we must thoroughly understand their ways before we can undertake the killing; this will involve a practical Study of natural history in the most interesting form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Beasts and Their Ways: Reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America Forty years ago our troops were armed with a smooth-bore musket, and a small force known as the "Rifle Brigade" was the exception to this rule. The military rifle carried a spherical bullet, and, like all others of the period, it necessitated the use of a mallet to strike the ball, which, being a size larger than the bore, required the blow to force it into the rifling of the barrel in order to catch the grooves. Sporting rifles were of various sizes, but they were constructed upon a principle generally accepted, that extreme accuracy could only be obtained by burning a very small charge of powder. The outfit required a small mallet made of hardwood faced with thick buff leather, a powerful loading-rod, a powder-flask, a pouch to contain greased linen or silk patches; another pouch for percussion caps; a third pouch for bullets. In addition to this cumbersome arrangement, a nipple-screw was carried, lest any stoppage might render necessary the extraction of the nipple. The charge of powder in ordinary use for a No.16 bore (which carried an ounce spherical ball) was 1 1/2 dram, and the sights were adjusted for a maximum range of 200 yards. Although at this distance considerable accuracy could be attained at the target upon a quiet day, it was difficult to shoot with any precision at an unmeasured range owing to the high trajectory of the bullet. Thus for sporting purposes it was absolutely essential that the hunter should be a first-rate judge of distance in order to adjust the sights as required by the occasion. It was accordingly rare to meet with a good rifle-shot fifty years ago. Rifle-shooting was not the amusement sought by Englishmen, although in Switzerland and Germany it was the ordinary pastime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, 1911, Vol. 2 The great struggle of the human race through all the ages has been a struggle for human liberty. Man, believing himself to be the architect of his own destiny, has unceas ingly striven for the privilege of drawing the plans upon which he must build the structure which will be to him an eternal bane or an eternal blessing. For six thousand years the human race has pressed onward and upward, in progress and advancement; from him who contended with wild beasts for the habitation of a cave to him who dwells amid palatial grandure; from him who counted the stars on the shepherd hillsides of the historic East to him who calculates their movements for ages yet to come. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance; the world's great works have not been ac complished in a day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
