This is a book which we venture to predict the sportsman will 

 hereafter swear by. Frank Forester, bred up to all the niceties 

 of English shooting, is not only a scholarly naturalist, but a 

 practical American woodsman. His book will give them some 

 idea&^in England such as they never had before, save theoretical- 

 ly, of the manifold and varied qualities required by an American 

 practitioner of the gentle art of following dog and grun. — C. F. 

 Hoffman in Literary World. 



Mr. Herbert is an enthusiast in the manly pastime on which he 

 has written. He takes hold of the subject not merely as one 

 intimately acquainted with his theme, but like a man whose 

 heart is in his work. Every man who either has or intends to 

 shoulder a fowling piece or rifle, should at once get hold of this 

 instructor, that he may know how, where, and when to bag his 

 game. — Albany Evening Journal. 



The work embodies the natural history of the principal game 

 birds and animals of this region, with accounts of the season, 

 manner, and places of taking each respectively. Prairie-huntins-, 

 forest-hunting, upland, bay, and lowland shooting are fully 

 described, as well as the treatment of dogs in sickness and in 

 health, their training, uses, &c. To those following the exercise, 

 we deem this book indispensable. — N. Y. Tribune. 



In material and execution the work is truly admirable. To the 

 sportsman it is, of course, of peculiar value, but not to him 

 alone : — to the naturalist and general reader it is full of interest, 

 affording accurate information concerning the habits of the elk, 

 moose, bison, deer, and also of all the game birds of the North 

 American Continent. — Southern Literary Gazette. 



Mr. Herbert is a terse, sharp writer, goes right to the point, 

 tells things in a plain way, and yet glows with all the feelings 

 of a true sportsman, in his recital of the pleasures of shooting. — 

 St. Louis Reveille. 



He goes through the whole catalogue of game, describes the 

 character haunts, and peculiarities of each ; assumes the tone of 

 a companion and instructor, and in a hundred ways, keeps the 

 reader upon the scent as keenly as the best trained setter. — 

 N. Y. Courier.
