A NEW AND ORIGINAL WORK,
ENTITLED THE
SPORTSMAN’S CYCLOPÆDIA;
Being an Elucidation of the Science and Practice of the FIELD, the
TURF, and the SOD; or, in other Words, the Scientific Operations of the
CHASE, the COURSE, and of all those Diversions and Amusements which
have uniformly marked the British Character; and which are so ardently
cherished, and so extensively followed, by the present Generation:
comprehending the Natural History of all those Animals which are the
Objects of Pursuit, accompanied with illustrative Anecdotes.
BY T. B. JOHNSON,
_Author of the Shooter’s Companion, &c. &c._
IN offering the present work to the SPORTING WORLD, the Publishers do
not deem any apology necessary, as there is no Book on sale professedly
of a similar character, nor one that will furnish a Sportsman with that
information which he may desire on the various Field Sports of the
present day.
Under such circumstances, the Publishers conceive that a “_Sportsman’s
Cyclopædia_” will be not only acceptable to those who follow the
_Hounds_, pursue the _Feathered Tribes_, frequent the _Lake_, or the
_Stream_, or attend the _Course_, but also to the Public in general.
They, therefore, honestly and fearlessly assert that the Author and
Compiler of it is a well-known Sportsman, who has made the various
subjects of the book the business of his life, and whose practical
knowledge of FIELD AMUSEMENTS, in its various ramifications, is
uniformly acknowledged. Nor have they spared either pains or expense in
the Printing or the Embellishments which illustrate and adorn the Work;
their object being to produce, not merely a Book of General Reference,
but a complete SPORTSMAN’S LIBRARY.
This Work is elegantly printed on Fine Paper, and illustrated with
numerous HIGHLY-FINISHED and EMBLEMATICAL ENGRAVINGS, executed in the
most characteristic Style of Excellence by those eminent Artists,
