ADVERTISEMENT.

SINCE the article "Shooting," written for the current edition of the "Encyclopædia Britannica," was published in that work, the "Oakleigh Shooting Code" has been withdrawn as a separate publication; but so much of it as was deemed worth preserving has been embodied in the treatise from the Encyclopædia, which is now re-published, with large additions, in the following pages.

1st May, 1840.

Rich in content; in Nature's bounty rich,

In herbs and fruits; whatever greens the spring,

When heaven descends in showers; or bends the bough

When summer reddens, and when autumn beams;

Or in the wintry glebe whatever lies

Concealed!

The Seasons, Autumn.
