EDITOR OF THE N. Y. SPIRIT OF THE TIMES

In one large octavo volume, rich extra cloth, with numerous Illustrations.

" Here is a book, a hand-book, or rather a text-book — one that contains the whole routine of the science. It is the Frimer, the Lexicon, and the Homer. Everything is here, from the minutest portion of a gun-lock, to a dead Buffalo. The sportsman who reads this book understanding^, may pass an examination. He will know the science, and may give advice to others. Every sportsman, and sportsmen are plentiful, should own this work. It' should be a " vade mecum." He should be examined on its contents, and estimated by his abilities to answer. We have not been without treatises on the art, but hitherto they have not descended into all the minutiae of equipments and qualifications to proceed to the completion. This work supplies deficiencies, and completes the sportsman's library." — U. S. Gazette.

" No man in the country that we wot of is so well calculated as our friend of the ' Spirit' for the task he has undertaken, and the result of his labours has been that he has turned out a work which should be in the hands of every man in the iand who owns a double-barrelled gun." — N. 0. Picayune.

"A volume splendidly printed and bound, and embellished with numerous beautiful engravings, which will doubtless be in great demand. No sportsman, indeed, ought to be without it, while the general reader will find in its pages a fund of curious and useful information." — Richmond Whig.
