THE OAKLEIGH SHOOTING CODE; containing 222 chapters relative to shooting
Grouse, Partridges, Pheasants, &c. By THOMAS OAKLEIGH, Esq., with
numerous Notes. Edited by the Author of _Nights at Oakleigh Old Manor
Hall._
"We would advise all our sporting friends to buy this admirable
digest, the first time they see it in any bookseller's shop;
or--why--as well order it at once. It is the best thing of the kind
extant."--_Chambers's Edinburgh Journal._
"We have scarcely ever met with a volume containing so much light
reading, and at the same time such a fund of instruction and
practical advice to sportsmen, as the one now before us." * *
_Wigan Gazette, Oct. 14._
"Two hundred and twenty chapters of very useful hints."--_Atlas._
"Since the publication of Daniel's _Rural Sports_ we have seen
nothing worthy to be compared with the canons or the _Oakleigh
Code_."--_Essex Mercury._
"Containing such a mass of information relative to shooting, that
it ought to be in every sportsman's hands. Who would not wish to
spend a week at the ancient and hospitable hall of the worthy 'Tom
Oakleigh?'"--_Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, Sept. 10._
* * * "Timely, therefore, is the appearance of _Oakleigh Shooting
Code_; a manual for the tyro, and a book of reference to the
veteran sportsman, who, though he may sneer at 'book-shooting,' as
old farmers do at 'book-farming,' may yet condescend to pick up
some useful hints in its pages." * * "It bears internal evidence of
being the production of a real sportsman--one who has gleaned his
knowledge from experience, who tests the value of theory by
practice, and who, to a scientific acquaintance with his subject
adds a hearty enthusiasm for the sport."--_Spectator._
