This 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. Hoffman 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 theme, 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 instructor, 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 respectively. Prairie-hunting, forest-hunting, upland, bay, 

 and lowland shooting are fully described, as well as the treatment of 

 dogs in sickness and in health, their training, uses, &c. To those fol- 

 lowing the exercise, we deem this book indispensable. JV*. Y. Tribune. 



In material and execution the work is truly admirable. To the sports- 

 man 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 in- 

 formation concerning the habits of the elk, moose, bison, deer, and also 

 of all the game birds of the North American Continent. Southern Lite- 

 rary Gazette. 



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

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

 in his recital of the pleasures of shooting. St. Louis Reveille. 



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

 haunts r 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. JV*. Y. Courier.
