Lloyd is best known, and in style comprises more of the personal narrative than any of his other writings. Though two editions have been issued in this country, it has now become scarce, and is seldom to be met with. On publica tion it excited much interest on the part of sportsmen in this country, and was highly commended by the press. The work has also excited much interest in some parts of the Continent, having been translated into several foreign languages, and been taken much notice of by the press abroad, especially on the part of that of Sweden and Norway. The present edition is somewhat re-arranged, and the editor considers that in its present form the work is much enhanced. It is enlarged from the author's other and later writings. And is revised, inasmuch as some agricultural and topographical matters are omitted, both now being rather out of date, and each of which can be had to much better advantage in the ordinary guide books, now abun dant and of excellent quality, but which was by no means the case when the Field Sports came for the first time from the press. By this means the work, as it at present appears, is greatly improved and brought more in harmony with the present time; and is, in addition, rendered still more emphatically a purely Sporting work. Captain Lloyd's forte was sportsmanship, - not political or social economy. The Editor desires to express his indebtedness to Messrs. Richard Bentley 85 Son, publishers, for permission granted to make extracts from our author's large and beautiful work, scandinavian adventures (2 vols).
