PUBLISHERS PEEPACE. 



has placed them, with few exceptions, beyond the reach of would 

 be buyers in the United States, where there is a very general 

 curiosity and desire to procure them. Such being the case, we 

 have incorporated all the essential features of both works into one, 

 at a cost to the reader of less than one-fifth the amount charged 

 for the two imported works. The new volume may be correctly 

 described as Stonehenge's writings, omitting minor details of 

 merely local interest, and following the original text, except in the 

 reconstruction of sentences for the sake of perspicuity and sim- 

 plicity. Such additional matter as has been deemed desirable for 

 an American book is contributed, among others, by Mr. David W. 

 Judd, whose annual three months' hunting trips for many years, 

 have discovered choice bunting grounds in the Middle and West' 

 em States and Territories; by Mr. Henry Stewart, whose long 

 studies in animal life have produced several successful volumes, 

 and by Mr. F. R. Ryer, whose familiarity with dog lore has so fre- 

 quently been veiified in controversial papers. The engravings have 

 been executed by Mr. Charles Hinkle, whose known experience 

 with dogs enables him to successfully bring out tlie required points 

 in his subject. The full page illustrations are distributed without 

 regard to the text, but to add to the general effect of the volume. 

 Lists of prize winners in Dog Shows, down to 1887, are given.
