Four volumes from the Fur and Feather Series, which began publication in 1893 as the only book series devoted to all three aspects of hunting: the animal's biology and behavior, how it is taken in the field, and the best ways to prepare it for the table. Each book focuses on an individual species and each section is penned by an expert, with many of the contributors being leaders in their respective fields. Beginning with the book on the partridge, the series ran to twelve volumes, with the addition of "Fin" to the title after the editors decided to include volumes on fishing.
