The Field : 



The work is written by one who knows every yard of the moor, everybody about it, 

 and all the details of hunting', the book is at once a record and a handbook of the most interest- 

 ing kind The book is exceeding-ly well got up, the title page is artistic while the 



printing reflects great credit on the firm of Southwood & Co., of Exeter, by whom it was 

 executed. 



Illustrated Sporting^ and Dramatic News: 



Mr. Evered has made use of his opportunities to observe the manner of the red-deer and the 

 methods of the men who follow the chase across the wild open moor when they can, down the 

 sultry wooded combes when they must, and he tells in bright and graphic language the story 

 of some of the best runs he has known. 



The Sporting Life : 



The reader is in the land of " Lorna Doone " and those who have been under the spell of that 

 enchanting romance will find many a feature in Mr. Evered's description of the spacious, 

 varied and majestic scenery he deals with, which recall Blackmore's pictorial touch. As a 

 contribution to a select library of standard works on that phase of the noble science which only 

 an enthusiastic follower of the wild red-deer from his lair to the death could have written the 

 volume disarms criticism. It is written with manifest authority.

He not only depicts the wild beauties of the Devon and Somerset country but the genuine 

 spirit of sport runs through every line he has written.

 and a delightful recaller of happy memories to those who have — of the photographic illustra- 

 tions by Mr. Lomns a w-rd of high praise must be written. Not often have I seen more 

 artistic or faithful lanascape photography. 



The Academy : 



The wild red deer hunting of Somerset and Devon is a world of its own full of moor-craft 

 and wood-craft and local lore. . . . You need not be a follower of these hunts or have ever 

 seen an antler^ d deer pounding over Dunkery to enjoy these pages in which the breeze and 

 the heather and the warmth of rocks and the music of hounds are recalled.
