 CURRENT WORKS ON SHOOTING. 



1401. DICTIONNAIRE DBS CHASSES. A. Pairault. A 

 vocabulary of sporting terms ancient and modern. 

 Has an introduction by M. de Cherville, and is 

 dedicated to the Duchess d'Uzes. The work is done 

 thoroughly, and the natural history notes are better 

 than the explanations of some of the foreign sporting 

 terms ; but the book is compiled for the enlightenment 

 of those amongst whom it is counted a sin not to know 

 the meaning of such words as " field-trials " and 

 " mail-coach," and not for the use of experts. Contains 

 430 pp., and is illustrated with 50 vignettes and culs- 

 de-lampe. Pairault, Paris, 1885. 8vo, 15 francs.

 compilation, and not a good one ; a cyclopaedia of field 

 sports. Parent, Brussels ; Tanera, Paris, 1865. 8vo, 

 2 vols.
