Tkat we have had several good and elaborate Treatises upon particular divi- 

 sions of FIELD SPORTS is readily acknowledged; but we have had no Work of a 

 portable nature, comprehending the whole of them. This inconvenience, 

 however, is removed by the present Publication. The ' BRITISH FIKJLD SPORTS* 

 is divided into Sections, each forming a Subject which is treated separately and 

 systematically, with all the necessary Legal Information appertaining to it. 

 The Author's object has been to present, in as compressed a form as real utility 

 would admit, Instructions in all the various Field Sports in Modern Practice ; 

 thereby forming a Book of general Reference on the Subject, and including, in 

 One Volume, what could not otherwise be obtained without purchasing many 

 expensive ones. The means he has possessed for accomplishing so desirable 

 a purpose, he trusts, have enabled him to produce such a Work on the Subject 

 of Field Sports, as, in point of Paper, Printing, Illustration, and Embellish- 

 ment, is not to be equalled in the English Language. 



" It gives ui pleasure to observe the respectability of the Work, entitled " BRITISH FIELD 

 SPORTS." In this kingdom, the Sports of the Field are highly characteristic and interesting. 

 As gentlemanly diversions, they have been pursued with an avidity as keen, and a taste as uni- 

 versal, as the relish of Nature's beauties. A corresponding value is set on them, and an appro 

 priate polish is added by time and practice; the various minutiae in the knowledge of which, 

 and the technical distribution of this knowledge, together with Facts, Instructions, and Anecdotes 

 form the basis of this valuable publication." Partner's Journal.
