Excerpt from Instructions to Young Sportsmen, in All That Relates to Guns and Shooting Every thing here asserted has been the result of many years' trial and experience; and, therefore, all reference to other publi cations has been as much declined, as have statements from report; and it has been attempted to dilate most, on what has been the least explained by other authors. So much, indeed, has been published, by more able writers, on field sports of every description, that little remains to be said on the subject. The pursuit of game is already too well known to require much instruction. The author has, therefore, thought it far better, instead of treating too copiously on that head, to give particular directions for (what gentlemen least understand) get ting access to wild birds of every description. With regard also to guns, and the various other subjects that form the remainder of the book, he has taken up his pen with the determination of neither borrowing, without proper acknow ledgment, from other works, nor trusting to any thing from the experiments of other persons.
