Field Sports In The United States And The British Provinces Of America
2 Volume Set
By Frank Forester (Henry William Herbert)
Published by Richard Bentley: London 1848 Both 1st Editions
Provenance: From the Library of Henry Arthur Johnstone

" Field Sports in the United States and the British Provinces of America by Frank Forester (the pen name of Henry William Herbert) stands as one of the earliest and most authoritative 19th-century works on North American hunting and sporting life. Across two richly detailed volumes, Herbert offers a vivid portrayal of field sports as practiced in the United States and Canada, describing game species, hunting techniques, angling traditions, and the landscapes that framed them. His engaging prose combines practical instruction with literary flair, providing insight into the cultural and environmental backdrop of the era while celebrating the rugged independence and sporting ethics of the outdoorsman.

Published in 1848 by Richard Bentley, this first edition set reflects the author's dual perspective as both an English sportsman and American immigrant, bridging Old World refinement with the raw vitality of the New World wilderness. The inclusion of provenance from the library of Henry Arthur Johnstone further enhances its historical and collector value. This rare two-volume set would appeal to collectors of sporting literature, historians of 19th-century America, and enthusiasts of classic angling and hunting narratives. "
