About This Item
Los Altos CA : William Kaufmann, 1975 Ex-Library. Very Good. Hardcover. Facsimile Reprint. Not the athletic sports of the Olympics, but field sports - a survey of hunting and fishing in ancient Greece and Rome."As might be expected, hunting and fishing are the two main themes of the book, though some space is devoted to fowling and other sports. It will certainly surprise many readers to learn how highly developed were the care of horses and hounds, the choice of breed, and the rules of the hunt, and how remarkably near the ancients were to modern ways in much of their practise." Originally published by Ernest Benn.1930. 213p. illus. maps on endpapers. Usual library marks, and ffep missing, but otherwise text is clean and neat. Spine of dj sun faded..
