Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Oakleigh Shooting Code: Containing Two Hundred and Twenty Chapters of Information Relative to Shooting, Man Black-Game, Pheasants, Woodcocks, Snipes, and Hares

Rousseau's retreat was in Staffordshire; not in Derbyshire, as Hume has it; but near the border. The Dove divides those counties; and the scenery is similar on either side throughout a vast extent of country, part of which on the Derbyshire side is known as the Peak.

Excerpt from The Oakleigh Shooting Code: Containing Two Hundred and Twenty Chapters of Information Relative to Shooting, Man Black-Game, Pheasants, Woodcocks, Snipes, and Hares

Tom Oakleigh's "Hints on Shooting" were published in a series of papers entitled "Nights at Oakleigh Old Manor-Hall," the first of which appeared in the New Sporting Magazine on the 1st of May 1833. The following work may be said to be a republication of those "Hints," since as many of them as were thought worth retaining have been transferred to the "Oakleigh Shooting Code." Much however that was in the "Hints" has been omitted, or altered, or rendered more explanatory by considerable additions; and much new matter has been introduced, as will be seen at a glance, the length of the "Hints" bearing a small proportion to that of the "Code." The numerous notes appended to the "Code" were not published with the "Hints."

The endeavour has been to compress into the Oakleigh Code such practical information only as will be serviceable to the shooter in pursuit of red grouse, black-game, partridges, pheasants, woodcocks, snipes, and hares. It does not profess to embrace that multifarious variety of objects which works on shooting not unfrequently do.
