D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
“Note, use to call her from the grounde furst, and that will make her fall at marke in the plaine felde otherwyse she will to a tree.”—A Perfect Booke for Kepinge of Sparhawkes: Edited by Harting. For “Fall at marke,” vide p. 92, note 388. For remarks on “taking stand,” vide “Notes on the Falconidæ used in India in Falconry,” by Lieut.-Colonel E. Delmé Radcliffe (pp. 20-1). Natives of the Panjab do not consider “taking stand” a vice.
