Add to basketALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1909). (1901) 1909 2nd edition. 8vo (140 x 220mm). Pp88 + 4pp ads + i. B/w plates after paintings and photographs. Green cloth, upper board titled in gilt. Cloth quite stained & used, end-papers browned. A good working copy. 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. .
