The Sportswomans Library Volume 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Sportsman's Library: Or Hints on the Hunter, Hunting, Hounds, Shooting, Game, Sporting, Dogs, Fishing, &C. &C It can scarcely be expected that one man should be a proficient in all the matters treated of in "The Sportsman's Library." When I state, therefore, that in some portions of this work, I have received assistance, I do no more than might reasonably be anticipated. To a select few of the best, and the best known, of living sportsmen, I am indebted for their valuable opinions, and highly important assistance, with regard to various subjects, as to which I may not have conceived myself to be proficient, or may have doubted the correctness of my own judgment. Desirous, however, as I am to acknowledge, and pay my tribute of thanks for, the assistance received, I am equally anxious that it be understood that this volume, unlike the generality of sporting works, is not a compilation, nor composed of piratical extracts.
