HUNTING, COURSING, RACING, FISHING, &c.; with Observations on the
Breaking and Training of Dogs and Horses; also, the Management of
Fowling-pieces, and all other Sporting Implements. By WILLIAM HENRY

The author’s object has been, to present, in as compressed a form as
real utility would admit, Instructions in all the various Field Sports
in Modem Practice; thereby forming a Book of General Reference on the
subject, and including in one volume, what could not otherwise be
obtained without purchasing many and expensive ones.—In demy 8vo. Price

“It gives us pleasure to observe the respectability of the Work
entitled ‘British Field Sports.’ In this kingdom, the Sports of the
Field are highly characteristic and interesting: as gentlemanly
diversions they have been pursued with an avidity as keen, and a taste
as universal, as the relish of Nature’s beauties: a corresponding
value is set on them, and an appropriate polish is added by time
and practice: the various minutiæ in the knowledge of which and
the technical distribution of this knowledge, together with Facts,
Instructions, and Anecdotes, form the basis of this valuable
publication.”—_Farmers’ Journal._
