PRESS OPINIOIsrS ON VOLUME I. 



" A perasal of Mr. "Walsh's book has forced upon us the conclusion, one that will 

 he shared by nearly every reader, that it is indisputably the standard work on the 

 subject and is likely long to remain so— a position it richly merits. Sportsmen 

 will anxiously look forward to the second volume of the work, for there is every 

 reason to anticipate that the same high standard will be maintained, and that the 

 rifle will receive as complete an exposition as the ' Game and Wild Fowl Guns.' 

 We are only fulfilling a duty to the public when we say that no man connected !■ 

 any way with guns or gunnery should be without a copy of Mr. Walsh's masterly 

 volume."— 7%« Birmingham Daily Gazette, Nov. 21, 1882. 



" It will be seen that the work contains a variety of hints which may be useful to 

 intending purchasers of guns, so that we can confidently recommend an intelligent 

 glance through it as likely to save money and prevent disappointment."— (Sa^wrrfay 

 Review. 



" Taking the work as a whole, the sportsman will find in it much information on 

 guns, shot, and kindred topics." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



"The most complete work that has yet been written on sporting guns."'— 

 St. James's Gazette. 



" For breadth of view and completeness this treatise could hardly be excelled. 

 It has, moreover, the advantage of reporting authoritatively on the very latest 

 improvements, both as regards weapons and powder and shot, all which objects 

 of a sportsman's consideration seem to be susceptible of indefinite progress."— 

 Daily News. 



"With such a guide as this, all who appreciate sport will be able to enjoy it 

 fully, and, what is of importance, will be able to avoid much of the danger 

 attending the use of imperfect weapons.— T/^e Era.
