THE SPORTSMAN . OPINIONS OF THE PRESS . " The Sportsman of this month proves tlie industry and talent of the Editor . " —
Bell's Life in London . " The Sportsman we venture to recommend as the most talented and varied publication extant . "—York Herald . " The contents of this number offer the usual variety to the sporting reader—of original articles on partridge shooting , angling , and otter hunting , British sports and sportsmen , with full details of interesting meetings connected with the Chase , Coursing and the Turf . Two steel engravings , of first-rate excellence , ornament the number . The plates are worth the price of the entire number . "—Perth Courier .
" There are two plates given with the present number , each of which is worth the price of the book . The engravings are ' Deer in Windsor Forest , ' and ' Perch and Chub , ' both by Beckwilh . Tbey are admirably executed , and render the work at once an attractive magazine , and a marvel of cheapness . The letter-press is interesting , and contains some capital sporting papers by Nimrod and other' able pens , ' who seem to write with a true zest for the subjects they treat of . The naturalist will find many interesting facts scattered up and down the pages of this
magazine well worthy of being noted . " —Devonport Independent . " Should be in the hands of every lover of old English sports . "—Manchester ' Times . " Tbe embellishments in the present number ( for tbey do indeed claim first and special attention ) , are a most splendid view of the neck and neck struggle between Charles and Euclid for the late St . Leger , at Doncaster , and an exquisite engraving of' "Dead Game . ' To say that these engravings are worth more than the sum at which the whole number of the magazine is sold , is to put an equivocal estimate on their
value , because that merely says they are worth more than eighteenpence , and that creates an idea of their probable value , infinitely below the proper estimate which should be formed of their worth , —but they only need to be seen to be admired , and then to be eagerly purchased ; every one who had a bet upon , or a feeling for the memorable race , should possess themselves of the very life-likeness ofthe noble animals engaged in the straining struggle for mastery . As to the literary portion ofthe number , it contains all sorts of information , amusing and valuable to the
sportsman , which it is unnecessary to particularize further than by saying , it partakes of the same varied and interesting character which has belong to . tfiat in the former numbers . "—Preston Pilot . " It presents a more comprehensive medium of valuable information than any periodical ever yet designed for the rural class of readers . "—West Briton . "This work is the repository for every description of information that is likely to
interest the sportsman , and this not only as far as concerns what takes place in the United Kingdom , but on tbe Continent , in India , in America , —in short in every part ofthe world . And all these will be glad to bear that horse-racing has become more popular in Germany as well as in France . The particulars we can assure the lovers of the Turf are most deserving their attention . Enough , however , we hope has been said to induce our friends to consult tbe work itself , which , as well as
being calculated to afford them the highest gratification , they will find ornamented with well executed and appropriate engravings , —in themselves of great worth , and entitled to a place in the sitting-room , or porie feuille of every one fond of spiritstirring , healthy , and manly exercises . —Exeter Flying Post . Printed by Joseph Rogorson , 24 , Norl'elk-street , Strand , Irfuidon .
