Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Book of the Snipe
This little book is not intended as an ex haustive book of instruction either scientific or sporting. It is merely a reprint, with additions, of sundry papers jotted down in the rare idle hours of a busy life. These papers having, I am told, amused many in the pages of 'maga, ' may perhaps amuse more when collected in booklet form. If they should do for the reader the kindness which they performed for the writer - namely, that of bringing a whiff from the snipe-haunted marshes into the stuffy prison of everyday life in parlour and street - Scolopax will feel that he has at any rate done some one.
