Excerpt from Grouse Disease: Its Causes and Remedies

The national love of sport has made Highland Shootings such an important element in the value Of estates, that it is surprising moors are so generally neglected. Since grouse disease depreciates this class of property, we will define its cause or causes and remedies. We do not agree with those who hold that the malady is a mystery beyond solution, but, on the contrary, that moors are in many cases sacrificed by carelessness, indifference, and the unwise policy of destroying all birds and beasts of prey alike, and not burning the old heather periodically.
