THOUGHTS on FOX and HARE HUNTING.
In a Series of Letters to a Friend. By PETER BECKFORD, Esq. A new
Edition, elegantly printed in 8vo., on Fine Wove Paper, and illustrated with
numerous Cuts, price 14s. in boards.

The present will be found to surpass all preceding Editions in elegance of paper, printing, and illustration. The Author's Notes also, which have long been omitted, are here introduced, and render it particularly desirable.

"Mr. Beckford has so well described our present practice of hunting, and given such solid and rational advice on the subject, that his Treatise has, from the date of its publication, become a general text book; indeed, all persons that delight in field sports should be in possession of it."-Scott's British Field Sports.

Hunting,
Lawfulness,

Pleasure,

&c. &c. &c.

Copied verbatim from the Original Edition, published in the year 1733. Elegantly printed in 8vo. price 7s. boards; or in 4to. 12s.

"We consider the Sporting World much indebted to those who have caused the reprinting of this Work: the style is excellent. Some of the Author's ideas may, since its first publication, (1733,) have been controverted, or become obsolete, through the benefits of modern experience; but good sense, combined with practical knowledge and a playful fancy, are apparent in every subject which the Author touches on: and we candidly express our belief, that few modern volumes will afford the reader more pleasure."-Sporting Magazine, April, 1817.

BRITISH FIELD SPORTS; embracing Practical Instructions in Shooting, Hunting, Coursing, Racing, Fishing, &c.; with Observations on the Breaking and Training of Dogs and Horses; also, on the Management of Fowling Pieces, and all other Sporting Implements. By WILLIAM HENRY SCOTT, Author of the "Sportsman's Repository." In One large Volume, 8vo. Price 17. 18s. in boards; or on Royal Paper, with proof Impressions of the Plates, 31. 3s.

That we have had several good and elaborate Treatises upon particular divisions of FIELD SPORTS is readily acknowledged; but no Work of a portable nature, comprehending the whole of them. This inconvenience, however, is removed by the present Publication; the "BRITISH FIELD SPORTS" being divided into Sections, each forming a Subject which is treated separately and systematically, with all the necessary Legal Information appertaining to it. 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 Modern 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 expensive ones. The means he has possessed for accomplishing so desirable a purpose, he trusts, have enabled him to produce such a Work on the Subject of Field Sports, as, in point of Paper, Printing, Illustration, and Embellishment, is not to be equalled in the English Language.

This Work is beautifully printed on fine wove Paper, hot-pressed, and illustrated with upwards of Fifty highly finished Engravings; -Thirty-four on Copper, executed in the most characteristic Style of Excellence, by those eminent Artists, Scott, Warren, Greig, Tookey, Davenport, Ranson, and Webb; from Paintings by Reinagle, Clennell, Elmer, and Barringer; the remainder are cut on wood by Clennell, Thompson, Austin, and Bewick.

"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 minutia 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."-Farmer's Journal.

membrancer of Field Diversions. Price 5s. in boards, or bound as a pocket-book, 7s.
