Alken's equestrian illustrations ""are the result of the most attentive observation during many years entirely devoted to the pleasures of the field"" (DNB). While this work has the same title as an 1821 folio by Alken, it is often regarded as a first edition since it contains different plates. These plates include: two plates of angling, six plates of horse racing, six of coursing, 10 of fox-hunting, and 12 of shooting, along with others of poaching and the baiting sports. Tooley 43. Prideaux, 309-10.

Description
Kansas City, MO: The Faultless Starch Co, 1989. Fine in near fine box.. Modern facsimile edition of this collection of the 36 little promotional titles published by the Kansas City-based Faultless Starch Company, first published in 1889, an example of popular literacy tools in early Oklahoma and Texas. From classics such as "The Owl and the Pussycat" to original titles like "The Starch Ghosts," the 36-volume FAULTLESS STARCH LIBRARY had something for every young reader. In under-served regions like rural Texas and Oklahoma, these little books - which often incorporated plot points about the importance of using Faultless Starch - were not just delightful freebies for the young, but important literacy tools: "People have written us over the years saying they learned to read" with these books, notes Faultless on their order form for this facsimile edition. This collection was published to commemorate the 1989 Year of the Young Reader and the Oklahoma Land Run Centennial. A delightful recreation of the books that were so important to so many American children. 36 volumes. 5'' x 3''. Original pictorial wrappers, saddle-stapled. Illustrated and printed in single colors: brown, red, orange, blue, green, and pink. Each with 16 pages. With original order form for the facsimiles laid in. In original blue and red cardboard box, in the style of a Faultless Starch box. Box with a bit of bumping to corners. Booklets tight and clean.

The dust jacket is in very good condition, with general surface rubbing. There are several barely perceptible moisture stains on the jacket. The front inside flap has a small crease. "I found Laura Wilson's book engrossing. She catches the spirit of Texas ranching and the cowman almost perfectly. One is always aware that Watt Matthews and his family, as well as the people in Albany, Texas, are aware of a wider world. This is one of the best treatments of Texas cattle ranching that I have read." - William H. Goetzmann, Jack Blanton Professor of American History, The University of Texas at Austin.
