Engraved title-page with vignette, 20 plates of sporting subjects, each with a facing page of descriptive text) as called for in the index, with an additional plate on the verso of the final leaf.

Subjects pictured and described include "Trout Fishing," "Salmon Fishing," "Bass Fishing," "Woodcock Shooting," "Grouse Shooting," "Duck Shooting," "Rail Shooting," "Partridge Shooting," "Moose Hunting," "Bison Hunting," etc. Phillips, p. 355.
