April 7, arrived in western Massachusetts

The cover is definitely the most garish one to date. Surprised me at first.

Number of pages the now "standard" 157

Haven't had a chance to peruse yet, just a quick flip-through. Diggory Hadoke seems to have a lengthy article.

Seyfried's a falling block piece, I think (I told you, "quick flip-through!)

Bell's was a surprise. Subject is waterfowling. At one point shows a picture of his battery of waterfowling guns, Eight of them. Nary a one has damascus barrels. Also missing, and I could be mistaken about this one; any gun with hammers.

Now I want to read the damn thing and it's 20 minutes past midnight. I've gotta fight the urge and try to get some sleep if tomorrow is going to count.
