OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN PRESS 



ON 



MR. W. A. BAILLIE-GROH MAN'S WORKS: 



"Tyrol and the Tyrolese," " Gaddings with a Primitive People" 

 "Camps in the Rockies," "Sport in the Alps." 



" We have read nothing of the kind that has 

 struck us so much as this book of Mr. Grohman's. 

 We can recommend the book as singularly readable 

 from the first chapter to the last." The Saturday 

 Review. 



" Mr. G. is so familiar with his subject, and he 

 writes so well that it would be almost impossible for 

 him to be anything but interesting." The British 

 Quarterly Review. 



" The book is eminently readable.'' West- 

 minster Review. 



" His natural history notes seem to us admirable. 

 The book deserves little but praise." The Academv, 



" A delightful book. Very few sportsmen, we 

 fear, can write so delightfully as he can, for he is 

 not only a sportsman with a considerable literary 

 gift, but he has a keen sense of humour and a very 

 happy way of expressing and communicating that 

 sense on paper." The St. James's Gazette. 



" A prize ! A most fascinating book, which I 

 could not lay down at meal times or at bedtime 

 until I had unfortunately finished it. Full of most 

 vivid pictures and good amusing and characteristic 

 stories.*" Truth. 



" A book of rare interest and charm . . . such as 

 the public seldom has the opportunity of reading, 

 and indeed as a necessarily rare combination of 

 circumstances can alone produce. A book of quite 

 unusual charm." The Spectator. 



" The pictures could hardly be better chosen or 

 better drawn. A pleasanter or more entertaining 

 book we have not seen for a long time. The 

 book is thoroughly fresh an 1 interesting.'' The 

 Examiner. 



" This is a work of which it is hardly possible to 

 speak in too flattering terms." Land and Water. 



"A most delightful volume." Graphic. 



" A most interesting volume. Everything is vivid 

 and forcible and fresh "The Field. 



"A perfect book of its kind. The charm is 

 irresistible. A very bright, agreeable, and interesting 

 volume." Illustrated London News. 



"It is seldom that we have read a better book. 

 ... A more real and better book we have not met 

 with for some time." The Literary World. 



" It is not often that a book has equal claims to 

 the attention of the scientist and general reader." 

 Scotsman . 



" Among the legions of books on the Far West 

 we have found none so fresh, so full of the truth of 

 its Alpine woods and peaks, and giving withal so 

 fair and representative a view of frontier life, as 

 Baillie-Grohman's 'Camps in the Rockies.' " The 

 Nation (New York). 



" There has been no more entertaining and honest 

 book written on the Far West than this of Mr. IJaillic- 

 Grohman's." Literary World. 



"An exceedingly bright book, as good reading as 

 anything we have seen on our frontier life." Boston 

 Advertiser. 



" It is, without any qualifying adjective, the best 

 book of the kind we have ever seen." Boston 

 Times.

 descriptions of Western out-door life that we have 

 ever read." Inter-Ocean.

 delightful descriptions and accurate information. "-

 adventures, robust and full of good humour and 

 good stories. " New York World. 



" There is a freshness and a charm about his 

 narration of scenes and circumstances that is very
