Based on the shooting journal of the author, a sailor in the Royal Navy, this is a delightful guide to areas in which he hunted, primarily for fowl. The first portion of this work gives advice on caring for hunting dogs (including prescription for the treatment of sore feet and diarrhea for the dog), clothing, guns, type of water flow, land game, etc. The second portion gives a description of hunting areas, game, and experiences encountered in all the ports frequented by the author in Russian Tartary, Japan, Korea and China proper.
