PRESS REVIEWS 



" Mr Abel Chapman has now over forty years of notes to draw upon, 

 and he has taken great care in revising a work that bids fair to become 

 classic. It is delightful reading, and describes the wild life of Northumbria 

 to perfection. Migration, shooting, fishing, wild-fowling, and the habits of 

 birds are written of with an intimate knowledge that few can hope to 

 acqui re. ' ' — Spectator. 



" This is the second edition of what was deser\-edly the bird-book of the 

 year 1889. Written by one possessed of an intimate knowledge of his 

 subject, and an attractive pen, and a first-rate ornithologist to boot, the 

 edition soon became exhausted and the book has been ver)- scarce for man)' 

 years. The work was certainly well worthy of being reprinted, but 

 fortunately more than this has been accomplished, for Mr Chapman has 

 been induced to practically re-write and much enlarge the book ; and he has 

 added several j^lates to his series of original and vigorous pen-and-ink 

 sketches — pictures that will be much appreciated by those familiar with 

 bird-life in the open. There is no better book of its kind, and to Scottish 

 naturalists it will be specially acceptable since it deals with the bird-life of 

 the Cheviots, the moorlands of the Border, and the adjacent seaboard. In 

 its new form it will be welcome even to those who possess the original 

 edition." — T/u- Annals 0/ Scottish Xatural History. 



"As a faithful record of bird-life on moorland and sea we know of no 

 more interesting work than the one before us, and the whole book teems 

 with practical notes as a result of over forty years' careful observation. It 

 is one of the most valuable records of wild life ever written, and the 

 talented author's clever sketches, as well as his writing, add in no small 

 measure to the general excellence of the volume. We never remember 

 reading a hook with so much pleasure and profit, and we fervently wish that 

 ever}' lover of Nature was as obser\'ant as Mr Chapman." — The Naturalist's 

 Quarterly Review.
