In a series of two volumes Augustus Grimble describes his shooting experiences in the British Isles: grouse, duck, pheasant, snipe, partridges and hares. He seems to have been a prolific game shot claiming a count over 76 thousand from the 12th of August 1877 till 1st February 1898 when this diary stops. A rather scarce work.
