PREFACE. 



IN producing this Work, I am actuated by the hope 

 that many of our English Sportsmen may be induced 

 to cross the Atlantic ; for well I know they will be 

 amply rewarded for their trouble, provided they are 

 of the right stamp, and do not mind roughing it, in 

 search of sport with " Gun, Rod, and Saddle." 



The expense is not great for such a trip; the sea 

 voyage, under ordinary circumstances, does not extend 

 over ten days, while the accommodation and cuisine 

 on board ship are excellent. 



I much prefer the Inman Line of Trans- Atlantic 

 steam ships to all others, and I therefore recommend 

 them, for the reason that the officers are more obliging 

 and willing to afford information than those I have 

 sailed with in other lines. 



On arrival in New York, select the Brevoort House, 

 in Fifth Avenue, for your residence ; it is conducted 

 in the same manner as an English hotel. You can 

 choose what hours are most convenient and suitable 

 for your meals, while the domestics are always civil. 

 The proprietors of this house can afford reliable 

 information as to the hunting-grounds, the best 

 means of reaching them, and other local details.
