" Here is a bonk, a hnnil-hnok, or ralher a text-liook—one that C(>ntain.s the whole routine of the
8cienr«. It is the Pnnier, tlic I.exiron, and the Homer. Everytlim? is here, from the minutest
portion of a Run-lock, to a tlend Buffalo. The sportsman who reads lliis book understandinRly, may
pass an examination. He will know the sricnce, and may ewe advice to others. Every sportsman,
and sportsmen are plentiful, should own this work. U should be a " vade mecuni." He slioukl
be examined on its contents, and estimated by bis abilities to answer. We have not been without
treatises on the art, but hitherto they have not descended into all the minutiie of equipments and
qiialiticatiiins to proceed to the completion. This work supplies deficiencies, and completes the
sportsman's library."

" ' No man in the country that we wot of is so well calculated as our friend of the Spirit' for the
task he has undertaken, and the result of his laboura liius been that he has turned out a work which
should be in the hands of every man in the huid who owns a double-barrelled gun."— N. O. Picayune.

" Mr. Youatt's work is invaluable to the student of canine history; it is full of entertaining anJ
instructive matter for the general reader. To the sportsman it coininends itself by the large amount
of useful information in reference to his pecuhar pursuits wliich it embodies—information which
he cannot find elsewliere in so convenient and accessible a form, and with so reUable an authority
to entitle it to his consideration. The modest preface which Dr. Lewis has made to the American
edition of this work scarcely does justice to the additional value he has imparted to it; and the
publishers are entitled to great credit for the handsome manner in wluch tliey have got it up."
