1852

"Criticism on this substantive work is unnecessary. Like the author's Dorians,' and 'Mythology,' it has taken its place among the best classical interpretations produced by the Modern German school of inquiry. In its own especial line of investigation we have nothing approaching it for accuracy of research and subtlety of appreciation. It is not only an invaluable manual to the reader of Greek history, and the student of Greek art, but a readable and interesting book for every one. Not only is Müller's great work now worthily rendered into English, but with the elucidation of Mr. Leitch, and the additions of Herr Welcker, this is the best and most complete edition yet published."

101 Oriental Sporting Magazine, from June 1828 to June 1833, 2 vols.
(pub. at 28s), cloth
Reprinted 1873

Besides many spirited descriptions of "deeds of derring do," both with
the rifle and spear-with some amusing original contributions-poetry of no
mean merit is to be found in the pages of the magazine, especially those
famous sporting songs which were then so popular, such as-

The bear-the mighty boar

Saddle, spur, and spear;

Hurrah for the spur and the spear ;

"Tis the boar, the grim, grey boar

- with many more. The best from the pen of Captain Thomas Morley
Morris, of the Bombay Army; the final letters of whose names-S. Y. S.-
mark which are his.

These stirring songs have ever met with warmest recognition at all
sporting gatherings. But a few years ago a fear was expressed that some
of them might be forgotten and lost for ever; and the question was asked
where they could be found, if still in print. Only one complete copy of the
magazine was known to be in existence, and it was thought advisable to
have a reprint from this. The old edition was in five octavo volumes.
good deal of this bulk was from old Racing Calendars. These had ceased
to be of any interest, and it was resolved that the new edition should be in
two volumes-retaining the Sporting Accounts, Tales, and Poetry, but
omitting the greater part of the Racing Tables.
