"Burton’s Falconry is today considered a classic, although it created little stir at the time of its appearance. Much in demand among collectors of Burtoniana, it is an intriguing excursion into a pastime which almost predictably appealed to a man of Burton’s temperament. The work is set in Sind during 1845 and 1846, when Burton enjoyed many happy hours with the region’s accomplished falconers." (Casada)
