Otter-hunting was a popular sport during the end of 19the century. Unfortunately, people knew very little of the otters and even less about hunting them. The author aimed to provide information on the science of hunting, or the creature's habits, to help everyone take part in this sport effectively. He wanted to help people learn by following his straightforward instructions. Even though otter hunting was banned during the earlier half of the 20th century, this book is still of historical importance. It helps get a clear idea of how enthusiastic the people were about hunting and what people's perception of this animal that they called «a great wanderer, a creature of the night.» Contents include: Preface Introduction The Natural History of the Otter The Otter's Haunts and Habits Otter-hunting, Past and Present Hounds and Terriers Reminiscences Index
