"THE LIFE OF A SPORTSMAN, by Nimrod; with Thirty-six coloured Illustrations by Henry Alken."-R. Ackermann, London. Of the literary character of this work, our readers have already had an ample opportunity of forming their own judgment. It now appears in a collected form, with many corections and additions, and illustrated by our friend Alken's very spirited pencil. 66 'My design and object in writing this work," says Nimrod in his preface, "was not merely to depict the Life of a Sportsman, in the general-perhaps with some persons, unfavourable acceptation of that term, but taking higher ground, to pourtray the character of an English gentleman attached to the sports and pastimes of his country; and likewise to give a sketch of a country gentleman's family, in as close imitation as possible of those of the best description, with which it has been my good fortune to become accquainted. In fact in many instances, the imitation or resemblance is so close, as not to be doubtful to many as to who are the original parties; and they themselves cannot be displeased with my selection, when they are intended to be displayed as exemplars worthy of being followed by others. "The plan or outline of this half-true, half-fictitious story is soon told. It is, as has already been observed, descriptive of a country. gentleman of large fortune and highly connected, having two sons and two daughters. He himself is a sportsman, but only to a certain extent; that is to say, he does not aspire to fox-hunting, but keeps a first-rate pack of harriers, and is also a good shot. His eldest son has nothing sporting in his constitution, but has all the good qualities that adorn and exalt our nature, and for which, of course, full credit is given him. The hero of my tale is the younger son, who differing in taste from his brother, enters into the sports of the field at a very early age, and becomes a thorough sportsman in the legitimate sense of that often wrongly applied term. How far I have succeeded in pourtraying him as such, my readers must be my judges; I can only say, I have made him follow as nearly as I was able, in the footsteps of those who, within my time and knowledge, have become the most eminent sportsmen of their day, both by flood and field.'” ༔ Such is the author's outline of a "plot," of which the chief deficiency is its want of" incident." The descriptions of sporting and domestic scenes are in Nimrod's usual style of excellence. Alken's illustrations, however, form to us the principle attraction of this very elegant volume. 1S PHEASANT SHOOTING BEGINS 2 Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity. 3 M 4 TU CALEDONIAN H.
