FOR THE GUN. 



A new work by an English writer, 

 "H. H." 



The instructions here given are the result of 

 the author's amateur practicil experience 

 of thirty-seven years. A review in Forest 

 and Stream says: 



"This work is a very well written treatise upon 

 the subject, containing some new ideas and much 

 that is interesting and instructive to the new be- 

 ginner as well as not a little that will be beneficial 

 to even old hands to study. The chapter devoted 

 to kennel management is a short one, but it is 

 very nearly complete, and is alone worth many 

 times the price of the work to any one that will 

 heed its teachings."

THE ART OF SHOOTING. 



An Illustrated Treatise on the Art of Shooting, 

 With extracts from the best authorities. 



By CHARLES LANCASTER. 



LONDON, 1891. PRICE $3.00. 



AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 



At the special request of many gentlemen who have placed themselves in my hands for 

 instruction in the Art of Shooting, I have written this treatise. I have endeavored to mee 

 the special requirements of those who are anxious to become proficient in the art, and who 

 have hitherto been unable to obtain, in a precise form, the information necessary for study- 

 ing the first principles of shooUng at moving objects. 



I have had the honor of coaching many gentlemen, and have carefully studied the 

 points especially requiring attention that have cropped up from time to time while giving 

 instruction. I hope that those who favor me by studying this treatise may quickly gain 

 the knowledge so essential for the making of an average if not brilliant shot. 



I have purposely refrained from touching on the several merits of aDy class of gun- 

 being a gun-maker myself; and, indeed, so many good works on the subject have been 

 written, that it is really unnecessary. ^ 



I trust that authors from whose writings I have made extracts will pardon me when 

 they recollect that I have at heart one object, viz., the advancement of a manly sport 

 which gives pleasure, health and occupation to many, and to the patronage of whose fol- 

 lowers I am indebted for many pleasant days.

Book and Boy. 



The visitor from New Jersey came in and said his wife wanted to 

 give a book to a boy friend— a manly boy, blessed with a taste for 

 Forest and Stream subjects; the book must be a manly hook, and one 

 to encourage these tastes. We named it— "Nessmuk's Woodcraft;" 

 and the suggestion carried conviction. The hoy has doubtless by 

 this time read his book through three times at least, and has found 

 something in the third reading that he missed in the first. And if he 

 retains his sportsman's tastes he will read the hook when he shall be 

 old. 



The Man and the Book. 



For Read this note from Gen. D. H. Bruce, of Syracuse, in praise of 

 "Woodcraft:" "Good old Nessmuk. I could have known him for 

 years. What a delightful book. How every page rivets the attention 

 of the woodsman, by its happy language in dealing with practical, 

 every- day things, and imparting hints of originality in respect to 

 many things. I took up the book one evening, and could not sleep 

 until I had read every page and looked several times at the quaint 

 portrait of the veteran. I like such men."
