AND NEW YORK 1895 All rights reserved PREFACE The design of the Fur and Feather Series is to present monographs, as complete as they can possibly be made, on the various English birds and beasts which are generally included under the head of Game. Books on Natural History cover such a vast number of subjects that their writers necessarily find it impossible to deal with each in a really comprehensive manner ; and it is not within the scope of such works exhaustively to discuss the animals described, in the light of objects of sport. Books on sport, again, seldom treat at length of the Natural History of the furred and feathered creatures which are shot or otherwise taken ; and, so far as the Editor is aware, in no book hitherto published on Natural History or Sport has information. been given as to the best methods of turning the contents of the bag to account. PREFACE Each volume of the present Series will, therefore, be devoted to a bird or beast, and will be divided into three parts. The Natural History of the variety will first be given ; it will then be considered from the point of view of sport ; and the writer of the third division will assume that the creature has been carried to the larder, and will proceed to discuss it gas- tronomically. The origin of the animals will be traced, their birth and breeding described, every known method of circumventing and killing them—not omitting the methods em- ployed by the poacher—will be explained with special regard to modern developments, and they will only be left when on the table in the most appetising forms which the delicate science of cookery has discovered. It is intended to make the illustrations a prominent feature in the Series. The pictures in the present volume are after drawings by Mr. A. Thorburn, all of which, including the diagrams, have been arranged under the super- vision of Mr. A. J. Stuart-Wortley. ALFRED E. T. WATSON. CONTENTS NATURAL HISTORY OF THE PHEASANT By the Rev. H. A.

J. Stuart Wortley NATURAL HISTORY OF THE PHEASANT BY THE REV. H. A. MACPHERSON, M.A. CHAPTER I THE PHEASANT IN HISTORY The acclimatisation of beautiful or useful birds has long exercised the ingenuity of men of divers races. The old Greeks and- Romans in particular bestowed great pains upon procuring rare and delicate birds to grace their menageries and poultry yards. Of game birds the peacock was a prime favourite ; but the ' pheasant was also held in high esteem. , quanto ! noi dobbiamo d' obligo a gli Argonauti ' exclaims Raimondi of Brescia ; whether or not Jason and his heroes introduced this bird to civilisation, there can be no doubt that it was first carried to the shores of Southern Greece from the flat, forest-covered plains of the river Phasis, the modern Rion. That it was so is a matter for surprise ; because this species might apparently have been procured then, as now, from the coverts of Mount Olympus or the Saronic Gulf; but the evidence of a crowd of classical writers, to each of which I have taken the trouble to refer, convinces ' NATURAL HISTORY OF THE PHEASANT me that Martial was correctly informed when he wrote the well-known couplet, Argiva primiim sum transportata carina ; Ante mihi notum nil nisi Phasis erat. The popularity which the pheasant enjoyed as an ' article of luxury passed into a proverb : Not if you would give me the pheasants which Leogoras rears.' Ptolemseus Euergetes, in describing the animals kept at the palace in Alexandria, took occasion to remark upon the tasty character of the flesh of the pheasant. During the later years of the Empire, Roman epicures vied with one another in the variety and costliness of their banquets, which were furnished with pheasants reared by contractors or supplied by their own country estates. Nor were the barbarians of the North slow to appreciate the good judgment of classical taste on the score of a roast pheasant. Alexander Neckam has worthily celebrated the esteem which the pheasant enjoyed in Britain during the reign of his foster- brother, Richard Coeur-de-Lion. I venture to think that his lines deserve to be better known than they In prima specie carnem quod judice luxu Judical, ijDse sapor phasidos ales habet. Deliciosus honos mensse, jocunda palati Gloria, vix stomacho gratior hospes adest.^ t^ib. xiii. Epig. Ixxii. De Laudibus Diviiia: Sixfientice, p. 383, ' THE PHEASANT IN HISTORY 5 Polydore Vergil (who was sent to England by Pope Alexander VI.), after many years' residence in this country, pubhshed a History of England in 1533. We learn from this distinguished Italian that ' the cheefe food of the Englishemen consisteth in flesh. They have an infinite nomber of birdes, as well fostered in the howse as breeding in their woodds. ... Of wilde burdes these are most delicate, partiches, pheasaunts, quayles, owsels, thrusshes, and larckes.' About a century later Gervase Markham passed ' upon the pheasant the following encomium : In the first rank I will place the Pheasant, as being indeed a Byrd of singular beauty, excellent in the pleasure of her flight, and as rare as any Byrd whatsoever that flies, when she is in the dish, and well cookt by a ^ skilfull and an ingenious workman.' Here it may be remarked that the pheasants which crow to-day in our home coverts, while no doubt remote descendants of those upon which the enthusiastic fowler was pleased to pass the verdict just recorded, are not, as a rule, thoroughbred. It would be more accurate to say that they are the result of a ' History of England, book i. p. 23. 2 Htmget^s Prevention; or, the Art of Fowling, p. 199- 6 NATURAL HISTORY OF THE PHEASANT cross between the pheasant of the Caucasus and the Siberian or Ring-necked Pheasant of China. The latter bird is extremely handsome, but quite unknown to the majority of Englishmen ; for we should make a great mistake if we regarded the ring- necked pheasants seen in this country as typical Chinese pheasants. This point will be more easily understood if we try to follow a short statement of the distribution of the pheasant and its allies. I have noticed that even ornithologists sometimes talk about the pheasant to which we usually apply that term, I mean Phasianus cokhicus, as though it were confined to the forests and marshes which fringe the shallow and slimy waters of the slow-ilowing Phasis or Rion. My friend Mr. AV. H. Stuart, of Batoum, who has taken a great deal of trouble to procure the most recent information about the pheasants of the Black Sea, informs me that this species exists in many parts of the Caucasus. It fre- quents low-lying locaHties, notably those in the neigh- bourhood of the rivers Rion and Hura ; but it is generally to be found in suitable spots.

    Introduction The records listed in this volume are what might be described as central records of the College – the minute books, the registers, the statutes and similar material, generated directly by the Provost and Fellows and the New Governing Body. There are, however, equally central records listed elsewhere. The Foundation and Consolidation Charters, and other royal charters, were listed by Noel Blakiston as ECR 39. He included other central records, particularly relating to the building of the College, in ECR 38 and ECR 49. Accounting records to 1642, including the audit rolls up to 1505, when they were replaced by books, are listed as ECR 61 and later accounting records as ECR 62. Papers produced by individual Provosts, Vice-Provosts and Fellows (though there are very few of this last category) will be found as COLL/P, COLL/VP or COLL/FELL as appropriate. The papers of officers such as the Bursar (COLL/B), Registrar(COLL/REG) and other College servants are also separately listed. The catalogue of the College’s archives (now COLL/ARCH/1) compiled in 1724 by Thomas Martin (1697 – 1771) mentions the central records that existed at the time but does not list them individually. Binding, indexing and annotation of the registers in particular show clearly that their importance and value were recognised. Seal books, minute books and lease books were also carefully preserved. However, unbound papers were less well served by a storage system that was essentially organised by estate and were allowed to accumulate in considerable confusion until very roughly sorted by Noel Blakiston into boxes covering ten year periods.

The majority of rowing’s participants pick it up later in life, compared to many other sports, and it is rarely an athlete’s first sport, but is one that often offers them second chances. Institutionally, rowing is also rarely the focus of much attention in the athletic department. Despite such apparent drawbacks however, rowers are as passionate and devoted to their pursuit as any highly paid, well-publicized

    Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Michael Kiosoglous A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Paul D. Renard (Chair) Gabriella M. Belli Marcie Boucouvalas Clare D. Klunk Friday, April 5, 2013 Falls Church, Virginia. Keywords Professionalization of sport Sports coaching effectiveness and expertise Sports coaching development Evaluating sport coaching success Reflective practices in sport coaching Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Kiosoglous Abstract Coaching effectiveness is a result of a coach getting the best out of the people and resources in their environment. For coaches, learning from experience is vital in a role that is a complex, dynamic and multifaceted process of balancing fun and winning where one cannot be sure if results will go according to plan. At the Olympic level, due to commercialization more money is being spent than ever before on developing more professional and effective training systems to maximize athletic performances. Medals won determine how a coach is evaluated and with more nations competition at a higher level, success is becoming even more competitive. More qualified and adaptable coaches are required to cope with the demands of international competition. The literature has been extensively examined based on the research question: to what extent is coaching success predicted by a coaches’ ability to self-reflect on past experiences? The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that if coaches who are highly self- reflective and have successful athletic and coaching experiences would be more likely to have future coaching success than those who either were not self-reflective or had less success in the past.

PREFACE The following pages contain, as may be inferred from the title, the story of an ordinary life. As regards the biographical part of the book, it deals mainly with the surface of things, touching but slightly on the graver thoughts and emotions which may give to the most commonplace biography the value of a "human document." Many persons will think that a record so trivial is not worth publishing. But there is undoubtedly a considerable class who may be amused and even interested by any memoir honestly written, and it is among these that I hope to find some readers. Numerous as are the autobiographies of " ordinary mortals," they generally depend more on anecdotes and " persons I have seen " than on the actual life-stories of the writers, which are often sketchily handled.
