"'All the gentlemen in Yorkshire shoot with Horsley guns': so wrote a correspondent to the Field in the late 1860's."
"This was no idle boast. A glance at the gun sales register of the time reveals a list of purchasers that reads like a Who was Who of Yorkshire". Detailed account of the life and career of one of the nineteenth century's most notable gunmakers. Ever innovative, Horsley registered a number of significant patents in the nineteenth century, expiring as a business only in the 1950's. "In so many ways, Horsley's story represents that of the English gun trade in miniature".
A provincial gunmaker of national importance in his day. Essential reading for any field sports enthusiast.

UK POSTAGE is built in to the price. It costs £3.50 for the first book, and for the second; after that we refund you £2.00 for each and every book, provided you order them all at one go. We will combine separate orders, but you must contact us immediately to arrange this. If we have already dispatched one of your orders by the time you contact us, unfortunately, we cannot do anything about it.
£3.50 is included in the price of each book to cover postage. If you buy more than two books at the same time, we will refund you £2.00 on the 3rd book, plus £2.00 on each subsequent book: buy 6 books and we will give you £8.00 back, buy 12 books, and we will give you £20.00 back, for example. Refunds will be made only to the PayPal account or card number by which you paid.

PARCELS OVER 2KG are sent by Royal Mail’s Tracked Service. A TRACKING NUMBER is provided with all such orders. The parcel will be delivered the NEXT WORKING DAY, or in some parts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, Scilly, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, the SECOND WORKING DAY.
OVERSEAS POSTAGE is charged by weight, at cost and is generally sent by Airmail. The postage quoted on this listing has been reduced by £3.50 to account for the £3.50 already included in the price of the book (as explained above).
US CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE! Airmail parcels entering the USA are inspected by HOMELAND SECURITY. This can include opening the mail sack. Parcels to US addresses can therefore be delayed and sometimes take up to four weeks. We must ask US customers to be very patient - we have now sent out many replacement parcels only to see the original arrive before the replacement. In our experience (30 years, tens of thousands of parcels), almost NO parcels are ever actually lost.
ALL CUSTOMERS, EVERYWHERE, please allow at least 14 days before contacting us to chase up your order.
(In the UK the Royal Mail will not declare a parcel lost & take action before 14 days has elapsed. Overseas, postal services vary in efficiency from country to country. The Irish and the Japanese post offices seem quite good, for example, the Germans less so, and South Africa the slowest by a long way.)
RETURNS are made under the terms of the UK Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and eBay rules. IMPORTANT: If you are considering returning an item for any reason, you must contact us first to let us know you want to return your parcel. Returned items must be conscientiously re-wrapped, the easiest thing is to use the original packaging, providing this remains in good condition. Overseas customers considering returning an item, please get in touch with us in advance to discuss.
