NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



" Frank Forester's Field Sports " is a book, which we venture to predict the 

 sportsman will hereafter swear by. Frank Forester, bred up to all the niceties of 

 English shooting, is not only a scholarly naturalist, but a practical American 

 woodsman. His book will give them some ideas in England, such as they never 

 had before, save theoretically, of the manifold and varied qualities required by an 

 American practitioner of the gentle art of following dog and gun. — C. F. Hoff- 

 man, in Literary World. 



Mr. Herbert is an enthusiast in the manly pastime on which he has written. 

 He takes hold of the subject, not merely as one intimately acquainted with his 

 iheme, but like a man whose heart is in his work. Every man who either has or 

 intends to shoulder a fowling-piece or rifle, should at once get hold of this in- 

 structor, that he may know how, where, and when to bag his game. — Albany 

 Evening Journal. 



The work embodies the natural history of the principal game birds and animals 

 of this region, with accounts of the season, manner, and places of taking each re- 

 spectively. Prairie-hunting, forest-hunting, upland, bay, and lowland shooting 

 are fully described, as well as the treatment of dogs in sickness and health, their 

 training, uses, &-c. To those following the exercise, we deem this book indis- 

 pensable. — N. Y. Tribune. 



In material and execution the work is truly admirable. To the sportsman it is, 

 of course, of peculiar value, but not to him alone ; — to the naturalist and general 

 reader it is full of interest, affording accurate information concerning the habits of 

 the elk, moose, bison, deer, and all the game birds of the North American Conti- 

 ment. — Southern Literary Gazette. 



Mr. Herbert is a terse, sharp writer, goes right to the point, tells plain things 

 in a plain way, and yet glows with all the feelings of a true sportsman in his re- 

 cital of the pleasures of shootiiur. — St. Louis Reveille. 



He goes through the whole catalogue of game, describes the character, haunts, 

 and peculiarities of each ; assumes the tone of a companion and instructor, and in 

 a hundred ways keeps the reader upon the scent as keenly as the best trained 

 setter. — jY. Y. Courier.
