Beaver: An Alphabet of Typical Specimens: Together with Notes and a Terminal Essay on the Manners and Customs of Beavering Men

About this ebook
Excerpt:
"A.
IS AN ADMIRAL-BEAVER.
The specimen mounted is typical and the coat is good, harsh and not silky, a common fault in these rough-haired examples.
An Admiral-King-Beaver is unthinkable ... "derogation of God's honour," etc.
Though the sport is deservedly popular in the Service, it is attended by infinite risk should the specimen be of higher rank than the players. K. R. and A. I. contain no definite ruling as to the legality or otherwise of the game, but a Court-Martial would probably trip an unlucky player on "conduct to the prejudice," etc."
