Excerpt from Modern Shot Guns In the present treatise the Author has endeavoured to give such information as is constantly demanded of gunmakers by shooting men. Notwithstanding the number of published books written by sportsmen for sportsmen, there is much information indispensable to those who use guns, which the gunmaker only can impart Modern Shot Guns is not intended to be a sportsman's encyclopædia, it is not a compound of gunmakers' circulars, nor docs it exhibit those conflicting opinions and diverse conclusions found in recent books on the same subject - such books having been written with the collaboration of various persons more or less interested in the subjects treated. These books do not enable the sportsman to arrive at any definite conclusion with respect to the merits or demerits of any mechanism, and merely M beat about the bush" with respect to the more important technicalities of gunnery. The columns devoted to shooting in the sporting newspapers teem with flippant nonsense concerning the facts of gunmaking, and although it is apparent that newspapers derive benefit by keeping subjects perpetually open, by so doing they propagate ignorance amongst their readers, and do but bewilder those they pretend to lead.
