From the Author's Introduction. 



" The object of this volume is neither to supersede tho works which I 

 have formerly put forth on American Field Sports and Fishing, nor yet to 

 supply any omission in their pages. 



" It was believed that a volume of'less ambitious style and less ezpensivo 

 form, taking up the subject more rudimentally, commencing actually db initio, 

 dealing more with the practice and less with the higher spirit of Field Sports, 

 insisting less on the natural history and general habits of the various species 

 of game, and aiming more at teaching the tyro in the trade how to enter 

 himself in his apprenticeship, and how to advance until lie have raised him- 

 self to be a master. 



"My previous works, on this and kindred topics, were intended rather for 

 sportsmen than for beginners ; this will take up the matter db ovo." 



Opinions of the Leading Journals. 



"Mr. Herbert is an enthusiast in the manly pastime on which he has written. He 

 takes hold on the subject not merely as one intimately acquainted with his theme, hut 

 like a man whose heart is in his work. Every young man who either has or intends to 

 handle a fowling-piece, rifle, or rod. should at once fret hold of this instructor, that he 

 may know how, where, and when to bag his game. 1 * — Albany Evening Journal. 



"We know of no author comparable to Mr. Henry William Herbert in dealing with 

 subjects of this sort. He combines — a rare combination — a thorough personal acquaint- 

 ance with the matter in hand, an enthusiasm which takes hold of one's sympathies, if 

 they be at all accessible on this point, and a nervous style altogether beyond the reach of 

 ordinary pens." — The 2T. ¥. Albion.
