Thomas Goodlake

The Courser's Manual or Stud-book Thomas Goodlake

Originally published in Liverpool 1828. The contents contain a number of vignette engravings. Detailed chapters contain much early information on: History of Coursing - Swaffham Coursing Society and Others - Coursing Meetings - Famous Coursing Clubs - Poems - Chapters listing the Winners of Cups, Couples, Sweepstakes, Plate and Prizes - Dogs Nominated for Cups - Eminent Stallions - Brood Bitches - and Racers of Olden Time etc. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
