X PREFACE. 



Messrs. J. D. Dougall and Son, St. James's Street, 

 London, I can recommend to supply the sportsman 

 intending to go abroad with enduring, hard-hitting, 

 well-finished guns. Their Lock- fast patent for breech- 

 loaders is the strongest known, is extremely simple, 

 and therefore not liable to get out of order ; and if 

 such a casualty should by any possibility occur, can 

 be repaired by the least skilful mechanic, a desidera- 

 tum of no ordinary importance when in a distant 

 foreign land. 



For duck- shooting and salmon- fishing wading stock- 

 ings and waterproof clothing will be found necessary ; 

 in fact, without such protection from wet, the strongest 

 constitutions may suffer. Those made by Messrs. 

 Woolgar & Co., Ludgate Hill, I cannot praise too 

 highly. For camping out, the waterproof ground- 

 sheet, and the waterproof boating-bag, both of which 

 are made by the same firm, I can recommend, after 

 long experience, to be superior to all other productions 

 with which I am acquainted. 



If rods or fishing tackle, extra guns or ammuni- 

 tion, should be required for the lakes and rivers, or 

 the hunting-field, Messrs. Andrew Clerk & Co. will 

 supply the former, and Messrs. Schyler, Hartley and 

 Graham, the latter ; both these firms have their places 

 of business in Maiden Lane, New York, and the 

 utmost reliance and confidence can be placed in their 

 attention, selection, and promptness in attending to 

 your wants. 



Follow my advice, and you will not be disappointed. 



UBIQUE.
