"Born and bred in the Highlands, - a sportsman from my youth, - with an intimate knowledge of grouse moors, and having necessarily associated freely with sportsmen, ornithologists, and keepers, my acquaintance with the subject of grouse disease and its causes inspires me with a lively hope that my observations may prove of service by indicating the means of remedying an evil which has long vexed the minds of owners of Highland estates, sportsmen, and others." (From the author's preface). "...gives detailed information on grouse shooting; the grouse itself; the disease and rival theories on its cure." (Chute).
