MY DEAE DOCTOR : 



A FEW months only have elapsed since the appearance 

 of the second edition of my book on Sporting ; and the pub- 

 lishers, much to my gratification, notify me that they are once 

 more in need of another supply. To this flattering appeal 

 I most cheerfully assent, and trust that you will again find 

 the volume, on this its third advent, much improved, as a 

 number of illustrations have been added and the text some- 

 what enlarged. 



With sentiments of the warmest esteem, I am, in all 

 sincerity, 



My dear Doctor, 



Most truly and faithfully yours, 



ELISHA J. LEWIS. 

 To PROFESSOR J. K MITCHELL.
