The author's name is often given (e.g. by Google Books and other online resources) as Clements, however we have seen a letter from him, signed 'L. Clement ("Wildfowler").' It is known that he was French, so it seems likely that he anglicized Louis Clement to Lewis Clement or Clements. Not in Jones or Chute. Clement was the founder and first editor of the Shooting Times but was an inveterate fraudster, eventually (in 1906 at the age of 62) serving three years penal servitude for many cases of taking money for dogs which he never subsequently supplied.
