Ow VG/vgSlipcase/ndj: [vi],x,324pp, 8 bw plates horstexte. With added Introduction by Worth Mathewson. A blow by blow account of twenty years' snipe shooting in nineteenth-century America [1867-1900]: where, how and how many were shot, culminating in a total for the period of 78,602 and 3,499 various. He laments the decline of the snipe in America and blames it on habitat loss. This is a facsimile edition of the scarce Knickerbocker Press edition of 1899 of which only 200 copies were printed. Record of the sporting life in southern Louisiana, his shooting near the Teche and Attakapas country, which was Acadian settlement area very near the coast. "I shot almost altogether on the Camperdown and Cypre-Mort grounds; both very extensive inland marshes, with low prairies and sloughs adjacent." Pringle was the son of the distinguished South Carolina politician, John Julius Pringle, and here he recounts in elaborate detail (and with marvelous photographs) his hunting experiences over twenty years from 1867 in the bayous of Louisiana. It is also an account of the ecological consequences of the conversion of marshlands to agricultural purposes: with draining of the swamps and the extension of the New Orleans and Opelousas Railway (now the Southern Pacific) to Franklin, the snipe came no more. Pringle also calls attention to the destruction of northern nesting grounds and the effect upon snipe populations.…

First edition. First edition. In contemporary calf. Spine with raised bands and red morocco title vignette. John Julius Pringle's possessor's inscription on the title page, within "Dedication", last leaf, and rear panel. lxxvii, [1], 504, 43, [1 (blank)] [58] p. Signatures: pi A-L M1 N-R S1 S T1; B? C-6L a-2b 2c1. First edition of this scarce and early collection of South Carolina colonial and state laws, one of the earliest prints of the 1790 Constitution of South Carolina, also contains the U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. With notable provenance. An important and relatively early compendium of laws and statutes from South Carolina's colonial period to the inception of the federal government (1694-1790). The full Constitution of the United States is printed in the Appendix (pp. 29-36), with the addition of the twelve proposed amendments comprising the Bill of Rights as ratified by South Carolina in January 1790. (In 1791, only ten of the twelve amendments were declared ratified by Congress). The Constitution of the State of South Carolina, adopted on 3 June 1790, is also included in the Appendix (pp. 37-43.), which is one of its first appearances in print. Compiled by John Faucheraud Grimké (1752-1819) a Charleston jurist. Grimké "attended Princeton University and later studied law at Trinity College at the University of Oxford in England. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Grimké returned to America to take up arms against the British. He fought in many decisive battles during the war including the battles of Eutaw Springs and Yorktown. He ultimately rose to the rank of colonel. In the post-war years, Grimké focused on building his law practice and bolstering his family's wealth through investments and the acquisition of real estate. In 1782, he entered politics as a representative of St. Philip's and St. Michael's parishes in the South Carolina State Legislature, a position he held until 1790. In his time with the legislature, Grimké served as Speaker of the House from 1785-1786 and was a member of the South Carolina Constitutional Convention in 1788." (Schulz, 2020) The present copy belonged to John Julius Pringle, Attorney General of South Carolina. Pringle (1753-1843) was born in Charleston, commenced the study of law in the office of John Rutledge in 1772, and continued in England. In 1778-1779 acted as secretary to Ralph Izard in France. Returned to Charleston in 1781, practiced law, and became Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives. Many of the laws presented in this compilation were signed by him in this capacity (pp. 414-467). From 1789 to 1792 served as Federal District Attorney, and in 1789, he was appointed by George Washington, Attorney General of South Carolina (The Papers of George Washington), which office he held for sixteen years. In June 1805, he was offered by President Jefferson the post of Attorney General of the United States, which he declined, preferring to remain in his native state. During his practice, he made important contributions to the principles of South Carolina jurisprudence. He participated in compiling the convention in 1788, that ratified the Constitution of the United States and the convention that drew up the state constitution of 1790.
