Biography
James Edmund Harting was the eldest son of James Vincent Harting and Alexine Milne Fotheringham. He was educated at
He wrote his first article for "The Field" on March 13th 1869 and remained on the staff for fifty years, becoming editor of the Naturalist Department in 1871 and later editor of the Shooting Department in addition to his other regular duties. By 1920 he had contributed 2,326 articles as well as 124 obituary notices to "The Field", in addition to innumerable “Answers to Correspondents” which he wrote on Natural History,

It was late in the 1870s that Harting, already an accomplished falconer, found his opportunity for starting a

Harting had over a half-century experience with numerous hawks and his acquaintance with falconers was unique. He was a close friend of Reverend Gage Earl Freeman who wrote for the field as “Peregrine” and Major C. Hawkins Fisher and was always a welcome guest at either residence. As a teller of hawking stories he had no equalfact|date=September 2008, and in his estimate of a hawk's capabilities he was seldom mistaken. However, it was his acquaintance with the literature of falconry that he outstripped all rivals. The compilation of the "Bibliotheca Accipitraria" involved a Herculean effort over many years and this alone would secure a place at the forefront of falconers even if it had not been supplemented by the vast quantity of useful information supplied beginners and experts through the columns of The Field. He was one of the few men who, like E.B. Michell, was seen in London with a hawk on his fist.
Death and legacy
James Edmund Harting died aged 85 on January 16th, 1928 in
"The Field" obituary sums up the personality of Harting as follows: ‘J.E. Harting was modest and unassuming but he knew the value of knowledge, and never hesitated to use the authority of his long experience. By never presuming to know too much, he impressed the merit of his writing upon many a man of greater fame. He made very little money, for he worked for what he loved, because he loved it first as a sportsman and a gentleman, and he expected fair treatment, which he invariably extended to others’.
Harting’s magnificent personal library was dispersed at his death at a sale by Hodgson & Co. on April 26th, 1928 and the remainder was given to Downside Abbey in 1934 by his surviving daughter-Etheldreda. Harting's son Hugh also attended Downside in 1880 followed by his great-great grandson James Harting Courtnay in 1977.
Books
His books included "The Birds of Middlesex" (1866), "Rambles in Search of Shells" (1876), "Ostriches and Ostrich Farming" (1877), "British Animals extinct within Historic Times" (1880) and "A Catalogue of Books Ancient and Modern relating to Falconry" (1891).
