" In the present delightful volumes, however, he presents all lovers of Stotland with the 

 completest details of every Highland sport, on all of which he is an unexceptionable 

 authority; and with what many will value even more, a series of life-like sketches of the 

 rarer and more interesting animals of the country. He has thus brought up to the present 

 level of knowledge the history of all the scarce birds and beasts of Scotland. . . . Hence- 

 forth it must necessarily find a place in the knapsack of every Northern tourist who is 

 fond of our wild creatures, and is simply indispensable in every Scotch shooting-lodge."
