Grouse will find interest and pleasure in his almost 

 too short work on Partridges." — Spectator. 



" All shooting men will give this monograph the 

 warm welcome it deserves." — Country Gentleman. 



" After this excellent volume, it is difficult to 

 think that anything remains to be written with ad- 

 vantage on the subject of partridge shooting. The 

 book is remarkably complete. . . . We leave the 

 book to the reader with a warm recommendation. It 

 is written in a style clear, pleasant, and graceful, and 

 it is full of sound knowledge, clearly conveyed." — 

 Evening Standard. 



" Excellent reading even to the average nature- 

 lover whose knowledge of partridges is somewhat 

 limited. ' ' — Scotsman. 



" The book is above all things practical. Captain 

 Maxwell might be actually ^on the spot' showing 

 and explaining what has happened. Again, the book 

 has the added virtue of a pleasant literary style so 

 that even the novice and the uninitiated may follow 

 his words with interest. The rare gift of combining 

 instruction for the expert with entertainment for the 

 tyro is enough in itself to recommend this excellent 

 monograph." — Aberdeen Daily Journal. 



" Captain Maxwell has a particularly happy style 

 of writing on sport. Every page is of interest to the 

 sportsman and the author reaches a higher level than 

 is commonly found in books of the kind." — Manchester 

 Guardian. 



" A singularly complete monograph ... on many 

 disputed points this book strikes us as particularly 

 sane and judicial. The writer never writes nonsense 

 — that is a much higher meed of praise than those 

 may think who do not read many books on sport — 

 and he knows his subject and treats it most 

 thoroughly." — Country Life.
