80pp. Blue cloth boards (very gentle wear). Internally neat, clean and tight. In its original dust jacket (a little edge wear, nicked at head of spine and a tad faded around edges and spine). First published in article form in The Field and in its present form in 1913, High Pheasants in Theory and Practice was, and probably still is he last word on the subject. By the time Sir Ralph reduced the results of his experiments to print, the blood and feathers school of shooters of the 1890s had been succeeded by those to whom killing of the really high bird in difficult conditions gave far greater satisfaction.
