in his various casts through those capitally kept and never 

 known as "Blank" draws, — Bell's Life in London, 

 The Sunday Times, The Old and New Spoeting 

 Magazines, &c. &c, — thanks are also due to gentlemen 

 officially engaged at the different places of sport, for polite 

 and useful replies to his letters for information on points in 

 doubt or dispute. To pack well together is the key-stone 

 of success in most pursuits, but more particularly in one of 

 so all-spreading a nature as this ; and in returning, as in 

 duty bound, their grateful acknowledgments for the assist- 

 ance thus afforded them, the Publishers make their bow, 

 with a sincere wish that the Line they have taken may not 

 prove impracticable, or the cause of damage, either in body 

 or estate to any gentleman sportsman who has taken a fancy 

 to look over it.
