FALCONS AND FALCONRY. By Frank Illingworth. Fourth edition.

(1946) 1978 4th edition reprint. 8vo (141 x 222mm). Pp126. B/w photograph plates, bibliography. Ox-blood boards, spine titled in gilt.

For many years this was regarded as THE standard introduction to falconry. The second edition was completely rewritten for the use of the "modern" falconer. Illingworth's tales of hunting for eyries and collecting eyas peregrines and gyrs have been much toned down. This is a much more practical handbook than the first edition. The fourth edition lacks the colour frontispiece of the second, and has a few more minor revisions.
