A SPRING AND SUMMER IN LAPLAND, 



WITH NOTES ON THE FAUNA OF LULEA LAPMAEK. 

 BY AN OLD BUSHMAN, 



Author of "Bush Wanderings in Australia." 



" We trust that the Old Bushman's book may send many a true naturalist, and 

 many a holiday maker too, to the country that his book so well describes." Header. 



" As a book for general reading, 'A Spring and Summer in Lapland' will be 

 found one of the pleasantest of the season." Intellectual Observer. 



" The description of his being lost for nine hours at night in a snow storm is dis- 

 tressingly vivid ; we doubt whether Defoe or George Eliot ever wrote anything finer 

 in point of physical and psychological description. There is an agonizing simplicity, 

 a depth, force, and truth of detail which could hardly be surpassed, because every 

 touch is in the nature of the thing." Spectator. 



" A volume which will be acceptable to the ornithologist and the sportsman." 

 Observer. 



" His notes abound in information." Sun. 



" It was a good thought that took the Old Bushman on a hunting and na- 

 turalist's mission to Lapland. His volume, telling of the natural features of this 

 district, and of the many animals that are almost its only inhabitants, is more full 

 of new and solid matter than the majority of travel books, and therefore has greater 

 claims on the iittention of men of science." Examiner. 



" There is no need to praise such books as this, which will attract and delight 

 many readers. Ifo review does it justice." Standard. 



" These notes on Lapland will be very acceptable to lovers of Natural History, 

 and particularly so to students of ornithology." Notes and Queries. 



" As a chronicler of these facts, the ' Old Bushman ' is strikingly conscientious. 

 He has recorded nothing which did not come under his own personal observation." 

 Saturday Ketieic. 



"Independently of the valuable zoological information, and the useful hints to 

 sportsmen which are to bo found in its pages, the book abounds with illustrative 

 anecdotes, incidents of northern travel, the Author's account of his being lost in 

 the snow, and many other details of his experiences, render the Old Bushman's 

 work thoroughly worth reading." Athenccum. 



" What can the British sportsman require more? Let him at once start to 

 spend the ' Spring and Summer in Lapland,' take the pleasant, carefully-written 

 volume of the ' Old Bushman' in his pocket as next to a circular note his best 

 travelling companion." Daily Nen-s.
