First sentence: GENERALLY speaking, the duty of a gamekeeper is to preserve, rather than to shoot, those animals which come under the description of Game; but shooting is the main object of his ambition; and a gamekeeper may be justly regarded as one of the happiest of mortals, since his employment affords him the greatest possible gratification.
