_Extracts from Reviews in the English and American Press_
_The Times._--"'The Oldest English Book on Hunting' renews its youth
in a superb and massive volume, elaborately illustrated with
reproductions of the quaintest of mediæval drawings. The archaic text
of the original English is happily modernised in parallel columns, so
that the book is pleasant and easy reading. The elaborate appendix is
a treasury of research ... and the bibliographical catalogue is
exhaustive."
_The Fortnightly Review._--"A great classic has been rescued from
oblivion."
_The Spectator._--"There can be no hesitation in ascribing to the
magnificently produced volume the first place in the classics of
hunting of an earlier date ever given to the public of our day. Some
of the attractions of this splendid volume ... the illustrations which
are as interesting as the text ... absolutely a masterpiece ... the
endurance of a scholarly and rational enthusiasm in the history and
pursuit of sport has its monument in the fine work now presented."
_The Field._--"In many respects this is a remarkable book. It is the
oldest treatise on hunting in the English language. It was written
just five centuries ago, and, strange to say, until the present time
it has never been printed. As the treatise is from many points of view
of considerable importance, one would have supposed that long ere this
some enthusiastic scholar with a love for the chase would have been
found both able and willing to undertake its publication. On the other
hand, we have only to look at the text as now presented to us to see
that its preparation implies an enormous amount of labour, involving a
collation of the various MSS., a _verbatim et literatim_ transcription
of the text, a modern English translation in parallel columns,
critical and explanatory notes, and a glossary of ancient hunting
terms; in a word, a thorough mastery of the subject. All this Mr. and
Mrs. Baillie-Grohman have accomplished, and indeed much more, for they
have given an account of the existing MSS. of the work, a bibliography
of the mediæval literature of the chase. It was a happy thought to
illustrate the English text with facsimiles of the beautiful
miniatures which adorn the French original.... In the way of
reproduction nothing could be better ... the _tout ensemble_ is a
model of good taste and fine printing."
_Baily's Magazine._--"This beautiful book ... in such sumptuous form
... bears evidence of wide research and of care in preparation. The
sumptuous production it is and the illuminations from old MSS. have
been reproduced as well as it was possible to reproduce them."
_Land and Water._--"This is really an extremely interesting book, and
if Mr. Baillie-Grohman is as painstaking and accurate with his rifle
as he is with his pen, it is small wonder that he is in the front rank
of contemporary sportsmen."
_The Standard._--"Singularly interesting and amusing ... sumptuous
book ... an immense amount of bibliographical information.... Mr.
Baillie-Grohman is a hunter of world-wide experience, and his
authority will be generally recognised."
_Morning Post._--"Magnificent folio ... the editors' notes on the text
are full of far-sought information, and, what is more, are
delightfully written.... Happy is the sportsman and scholar who has a
copy of it."
_The Country Gentleman._--"Mr. and Mrs. Baillie-Grohman have done
their work as editors admirably ... nothing could be better than the
general 'get-up' of this charming volume."
_New York Herald._--"Magnificent edition of the 'Master of Game,'
edited with a loving care that makes it a literary marvel. No labour,
no expense has been too great for the editors of this truly splendid
edition of a singularly interesting work."
_Chicago Tribune._--"Sumptuous folio of the first importance to
students ... it must ever be considered a classic of its kind."
_The Nation_ (New York).--"One can hardly speak too highly of the
loving and enthusiastic care which the editors have manifested in
preparing the work for publication."
