THE FIELD; 
(ILLUSTRATED,) 
Or, COUNTRY GENTLEMAN’S NEWSPAPER. 
T HE increasing popularity of “ THE FIELD ” proves the existence of the want of a 
Sporting Puper which can be fearlessly submitted to family perusal. It is tho determination of tho 
Conductors of “The Field" to exclude all reports of an objectionable character, nnd to give 
WO EKCOCISAGEMESX TO PRIZE.FIGUTIXG, 
And those other debasing practices which are erroneously classed among British Sports. 
“THE FIELD” contains ample accounts of Hunting, Racing, Coubsing, Cktcketing, Angling, 
Yacittihg, Rowing, Archery, Poultry, Agriculture, Markets, Theatricals, Chess, nnd General 
News, but all Party Politics are excluded. 
THE ADVERTISEMENTS are carefully selected, nnd anything of a vicious tendency rejected, so that 
“The Field” may be what it professes to be— a Gentleman's Sporting nnd Family Newspaper. 
THE ILLUSTRATIONS are of a superior character, both in Design and Engraving. 
B-W The FIRST VOLUME of "THE FIELD,” containing nearly One Hundred Engravings, by Lp.ech, 
Axsdell, Browne, IIink, Button, Weir, Wilson, and Hall of Newmarket, elegantly bound In cloth,

TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. 
Sir,— I suffered for a considerable period from a 
severe attack of Erysipelas, which at lengtli settled In 
my leg, and resisted all medical treatment. My suf- 
ferings were very great, and I quite despaired of any 
permanent uineudinent, when I was advised to have 
recourse to your Ointment and Pills. I did so with- 
out delay, und am happy to say tho result was emi- 
nently successful, for they effected a rudicul cure of 
my leg, nnd restored me to tho enjoyment of health. 
1 shall ever speik with tho utmost confidence of your 
medicines, ami have recommended them to others In 
this neighbourhood similarly afflicted, who derived 
equal benefit. 
I am, Sir, your obliged and faithful Servant,
