Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Fowling: Being an Account of the Many Curious Devices by Which Wild Birds Are or Have Been Captured in Different Parts of the World One of the happiest exponents of old, rural life in France is Nicolas Lancret. Several dainty specimens of his brush are hung in the XVI. Gallery of the Louvre. The picture called Le Printemps, reproduced as our own frontispiece, belongs to the collection. It represents a party of ladies and their gallants, who have pitched the toils of a Clap-net 'upon the banks of a beautiful stream. The cavaliers, to whose care the duties of La Chasse have been assigned, are attired in grey wideawakes, and appear to be engrossed in their responsibilities. The upper figure holds to his lips a bird-call, with which he is attempting to entice the wild birds into the centre of the nets. His comrade holds the cords of the nets; indeed, he seems to be in the act of reversing the nets. The expression of anxiety depicted upon his face is enhanced by the picturesque colours of his dishevelled dress. A blue scarf wound around his waist relieves the sombre effect of his dull yellow suit and russet hose. The ladies seem tolerably indifferent to the business of the hour. Two of the group affect to be absorbed in admiring a basket of delicate pink roses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

HISTOBY OF FOWLING BEING AN ACCOUNT OF THE MANY CURIOUS DEVICES BY WHICH WILD BIRDS ARE OR HAVE BEEN CAPTURED IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD iiV THE Rev. H. A. MACPHERSON, M.A. w MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION, AUTHOR OF "THE FAUNA OF LAKELAND, ' to., JOINT AUTHOR OF "THE FUR AND FEATHER SERIES," &c. THESE PAGES ARE DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO PROFESSOR ALFRED NEWTON, F.R.S., F.Z.S. AS A SMALL TRIBUTE TO HIS RARE ERUDITION AND AS A GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE MANY KINDNESSES WHICH HE HAS CONFERRED UPON HIS BROTHER IBISES PREFACE. In the days of romance and chivalry, any amusement which afforded court-gallants the society of fair women was likely to excite the patronage of royalty. Small wonder need we feel that, when splintering of lances was impossible, brave and accomplished noblemen wiled away their intervals of enforced indolence by exhibiting their skill as fowlers to the graceful dames whose smiles they strove so earnestly to win. One of the happiest exponents of old rural life in France is Nicolas Lancret. Several dainty specimens of his brush are hung in the xvI. Gallery of the Louvre. The picture called " Le Printemps," reproduced as our own frontispiece, belongs to the collection. It represents a party of ladies and their gallants, who have pitched the toils of a Clap-net upon the banks of a beautiful stream. The cavaliers, to whose care the duties of La Chasse have been assigned, are attired in grey wideawakes, and appear to be engrossed in their responsibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a transnational history of science, Japan's Empire of Birds: Aristocrats, Anglo-Americans, and Transwar Ornithology focuses on the political aspects of highly mobile Japanese explorer-scientists, or cosmopolitan gentlemen of science, circulating between Japanese and British/American spaces in the transwar period from the 1920s to 1950s. Annika A. Culver examines a network of zoologists united by their practice of ornithology and aristocratic status. She goes on to explore issues of masculinity and race related to this amidst the backdrop of imperial Japan's interwar period of peaceful internationalism, the rise of fascism, the Japanese takeover of Manchuria, and war in China and the Pacific. Culver concludes by investigating how these scientists repurposed their aims during Japan's Allied Occupation and the Cold War. Inspired by geographer Doreen Massey, themes covered in the volume include social space and place in these specific locations and how identities transform to garner social capital and scientific credibility in transnational associations and travel for non-white scientists.
