Reproduction of the original: The Royal Pastime of Cock-Fighting by Robert Howlett

The Royal Pastime of Cock-Fighting is an animal guide by Robert Howlett. It covers the art of breeding, feeding, fighting, and curing the cocks of the game.

Published purely for the good, and benefit of all such as take delight in that royal, and warlike sport, to which is prefixed, a short treatise, wherein cocking is proved not only ancient and honourable, but also useful, and profitable.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
