Opinions of the Leading Journals. 



11 Tub Dead Shot is, in every respect, the best work on the art of sho\ Mng, for the 

 young sportsman. It comprises a searching and clear exposition of the secrets of good 

 shooting, with the best practical instructions in dog-breaking.' 1 — Sporting Magazine. 



"The book is full of practical and precisely expressed rules, which are fully supported 

 hy reason; and which, if they are carefully observed, wiii bring any one, with a reason- 

 able amount of practice, steady nerves, and a good eye, up to the level implied in the 

 phrase, t a dead shot. 1 " — JJeil's Life. 



"Marksman's volume is worth the study of sportsmen, whether yotmg or old. We 

 particularly recommend to the former the attitudes represented in the plates. 11 — Gar- 

 deners* Chronicle. 



"This is the most complete sportsman^ mannal that we have yet seen: and we feel 

 a pleasure in recommending it to the notice of every one who carries a gun after game, 

 whether he be an old hand or a tyro. * * * If the latter, in Marksman he meets a 

 friend who will lead him from the first rudimentary lesson in handling a gun, to the pro- 

 ficiency of a dead shot. 11 — Sporting Review. 



"To teach the novice how to handle a gun. and to hit with certainty, and u. cure 

 defects in bad marksmen, is the object of The Dead Shot. One of the most valuable 

 divisions of the book is that which treats of the flight of game, a topic that has not been 

 discussed in other works on shooting. Directions for Dog-breaking are added, so that 

 Tub Dead Shot is, as its title professes, the Spoktsman's Complete Guide." — Satur- 

 day Rwiew.
