The above Is the title page of J. Cypress, Jr.'s, works, as advertised 
by ns. The book has long since been mit of print, bat we 
are happy to inform the sportsmen and those interested in 
reading delightful sketches of sporting scenes, such 
as Cypress. Jr., knew how to write, that some time 
si’ ce. while in New York, we found fome fifty 
copies or so of the original sheets and plates 
printed in 1842, but not bound; we se- 
cured them at no small cost, have 
had them bound, and now offer 
them at $5.00 for the two vol- 
umes. For the benefit of 
those unacquainted 
with the work we 
give the table 
of contents as follows;

The ROD AND THE GUN is the continuation of the .tMERIC’AN 
SPORTS.M AN. It is the recognized organ of the Shooting 
and Fishing TVaternity, and ha double the circu- 
lation of any other paper among gunners 
and fishers. 
It reaches first-class people and is a 
FIRST-CLASS ADt'ERTISING MEDIUM. 
Nothing will ever be permitted to enter its columns of a low or 
vitiating tendency. Its articles are designed to elevate and re- 
FINE the sports of the field, and make them as they should be, the 
pursuits of cultivated gentlemen. The object of the paper is to 
spread a general and useful knowledge on all practical points relat- 
ing to the Kennel and Field Management of Dogs, Guns and Gun- 
nery, Fish Breeding, and Natural History. 
A great want in this country has been a paper through whicp 
sportsmen could exchange their views, and discuss matters of gen- 
eral interest. To meet this, a large portion of spac is set apart 
for letters from Sportsmen, and those who glance through our 
pages will see that this is fully appreciated. 
The body of the paper will be devoted to reports of Foreign and 
Home Sporting Events, Pigeon Matches, Field and Fishing Incidents 
and Adventures, and to the articles of oar large and tmequaled corps 
of contribnlors. 
It is with no small pride that we arc enabled to quote the names 
of men who stand in the foremost ranks as scientists, naturalists, 
and accomplirhed sporMmen whose.elegant and Instmctive articles 
have so long been a power *n the columns of the American Sports- 
man. It is with satisfaction that we can quote their approval of 
our course, and announce a continuance of their very valuable co- 
operation.
