"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.
