" Here is a bonk, a hnnil-hnok, or ralher a text-liook — one that C(>ntain.s the whole routine of the 

 8cienr«. It is the Pnnier, tlic I.exiron, and the Homer. Everytlim? is here, from the minutest 

 portion of a Run-lock, to a tlend Buffalo. The sportsman who reads lliis book understandinRly, may 

 pass an examination. He will know the sricnce, and may ewe advice to others. Every sportsman, 

 and sportsmen are plentiful, should own this work. U should be a " vade mecuni." He slioukl 

 be examined on its contents, and estimated by bis abilities to answer. We have not been without 

 treatises on the art, but hitherto they have not descended into all the minutiie of equipments and 

 qiialiticatiiins to proceed to the completion. This work supplies deficiencies, and completes the 

 sportsman's library." — U. S. Gazelle. 



" 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 laboura liius been that he has turned out a work which 

 should be in the hands of every man in the huid who owns a double-barrelled gun."— N. O. Picayune.

 which will doubtless be in KTi'at demand. No sportsman, indeed, oui;lit to be withmit it, while the 

 general reader will find iu its pages a fund of curious and useful infurniation." — Richmond Whig.

" Mr. Youatt's work is invaluable to the student of canine history; it is full of entertaining anJ 

 instructive matter for the general reader. To the sportsman it coininends itself by the large amount 

 of useful information in reference to his pecuhar pursuits wliich it embodies — information which 

 he cannot find elsewliere in so convenient and accessible a form, and with so reUable an authority 

 to entitle it to his consideration. The modest preface which Dr. Lewis has made to the American 

 edition of this work scarcely does justice to the additional value he has imparted to it; and the 

 publishers are entitled to great credit for the handsome manner in wluch tliey have got it up." —
