185189397New York: Stringer & Townsend 1851. New Edition Revised and Corrected. Octavo. 20cm. Later full bottle green morocco by Bennett of NY lavishly decorated in gilt with tooling of snipe duck and geese amid ruled gilt borders. 200pp.; 4 ads to rear original decorated brown cloth bound in at the rear. Strong tight and handsome all edges gilt; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout. A very good clean copy of the 2nd edition overall and the first to be accompanied by llustrations from the author. <br /> <br /> Henry Herbert was a rather tragic figure seemingly continually falling short of his own expectations of himself and who only seemed to find any sort of steady personal voice in his works under the Forester pseudonym discussing the finer arts of shooting fishing and woodland stalking. A sort of wandering genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Scarce and collectable. Stringer & Townsend unknown
