SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



The Sportsman. — "The warm and lengthy praise we gave to the companion 

 volume ' Two Dianas in Somaliland ' might be repeated. They should have a 

 place in every sportsman's library ; nay, in far more, for the piquancy of the style, 

 and the charming friendliness of it all, enthral the reader." 



The Field. — " The story is told by Miss Herbert with all the free and joyous spirit 

 which characterised her former volume ; the same love of exploration, admiration 

 for the beauty in nature, keenness for sport, and withal a womanly restraint and 

 tender-heartedness. " 



Countiy Life. — " Miss Herbert's hand has lost nothing of its sprightliness, she 

 describes graphically and with never-failing nerve many exciting hunts. It is to 

 the full as daring and lively as the Somaliland volume." 



T lie Academy. — " We commend ' Two Dianas in Alaska' to many readers . . . 

 an amusing and picturesque journey. Scenery is powerfully described, and so are 

 the effects of light and shade and the flight of birds. But the ways of the moose 

 provide the most attractive reading of all." 



The Daily Telegraph. — " This is a delightful book, of equal interest to the 

 sportsman and the general reader. Light and bright are the pages. We heartily 

 recommend this book to all readers. It is all admirable." 



Yorkshire Post. — "This is a book of high spirits, mixed with philosophy. In 

 these prosaic days a romance from real life is not to be resisted." 



The Morning Post. — "This delightful book. Lively is a poor name for it, it 

 scintillates with life. We are soon carried away with the zest of it, and the irre- 

 pressible humour which bubbles out on every page." 



Fortnightly Review. — " Miss Herbert has a happy knack of amusing the reader 

 on almost every page of her bright narrative, and this alone places her above the 

 majority of writers on travel. It is with her asides, her not unkindly satire, her 

 unabated philosophy, that Miss Herbert attracts the reader." 



Pall Mall Gazette. — " Miss Herbert has a pretty wit, word-pictures of magic 

 beauty. The book is witty, picturesque, exciting, and the effect on the tired brain 

 of a dweller in cities is that of a breeze bringing health from a salutary land." 



Daily News. — " Far superior both in literary merit and interest to the common 

 run. Should secure a wide popularity." 



Manchester Guardian. — " Full of interest, and we are constantly amused by her 

 dry-point observations on men and animals." 



Daily Chronicle. — " It is an amusing and interesting narrative all through. 

 Those who do not like killing will find many other things in this book that they will 

 like. Miss Herbert's humour is of refreshing variety. She can observe and 

 describe as well as shoot." 



lVest>ninster Gazette. — " As bright and cheerful a record of sport as any I have 

 read. Excellent descriptions of the country and natives." 



The Standard. — " This volume may be recommended as sure to entertain. It is 

 voicing the cry of the wild so vividly and sympathetically that gives to this work 

 its distinctive character." 



The Nation. — " Clever to brilliancy." 



Outlook. — " All the completeness of a well-constructed novel. Racy descriptions 

 of quaint scenes and quainter peoples."
