WORKS BY THE LATE RICHARD JEFFERIES. 



THE GAMEKEEPER AT HOME ; or, Sketches of Natural 



History and Kural Life. New Edition, with all the Illustrations of the former Edition. 

 Crown 8vo. 5s. 



' Delightful sketches. The lover of the country can hardly fail to be fascinated whenever 

 he may happen to open the pages. It is a book to read and keep for reference, and should 

 be on the shelves of every country gentleman's library.' SATURDAY REVIEW. 



ROUND ABOUT A GREAT ESTATE. New Edition. Crown 



8vo. 55. 



' To read a book of his is really like taking a trip into some remote part of the country, 

 where the surroundings of life remain very much what they were thirty or forty years ago. 

 Mr. Jefferies has made up a very pleasant volume.' THE GLOBE. 



WILD LIFE IN A SOUTHERN COUNTY. New Edition. 



Crown 8vo. 6s. 



'A volume which is worthy of a place beside White's " Selborne." In closeness of obser- 

 vation, in power of giving a picture far beyond the power of a mere word-painter, he is the 

 equal of the Selborne rector perhaps his superior. This is a book to read and to treasure.' 



THE ATHENAEUM. 



THE AMATEUR POACHER. New Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s. 



'Unsurpassed in power of observation and sympathy with natural objects by anything 

 that has appeared since the days of Gilbert White.' DAILY NEWS. 



' We have rarely met with a book in which so much that is entertaining is combined with 

 matter of real practical worth.' THE GRAPHIC. 



HODGE AND HIS MASTERS. New Edition. Cr. 8vo. Is. 6d. 



' The one great charm of Mr. Jefferies' writings may be summed up in the single word 

 " graphic." He has a rare power of description, and in " Hodge and his Masters " we find 

 plenty of good reading.' STANDARD. 



'Mr. Jefferies knows his ground well and thoroughly, and writes with much of his wonted 

 straightforwardness and assurance. . . . Pleasant and easy reading throughout.' ATHENAEUM. 



WOODLAND, MOOR, AND STREAM ; being the Notes of a 



Naturalist. Edited by J. A. OWEN. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s. 

 ' As a specimen of word-painting, the description of the quaint old fishing village close 

 to the edge of the North Kent marshes can hardly be surpassed. . . . The book is capitally 

 written, full of good stories, and thoroughly commendable.' THE ATHENAEUM. 



FOREST TITHES ; and other Studies from Nature. By the 



Author of ' Woodland, Moor, and Stream,' &c. Edited by J. A. OWEX. Crown 8vo. 5s. 

 4 The book should be read. It is full of the spirit of the South Country, and as we read 

 it we seem to hear again the clack of the millwheel, the cry of the water-fowl, and the splash 

 of fish.' SPECTATOR. 



ALL THE YEAR WITH NATURE. By P. ANDERSON. 



GRAHAM. Crown 8vo. 5s. 



' Of the 28 papers composing the volume there is not one which does not brim over wfth \ 

 love of Nature, observation of her by-paths, and power of sympathetic expression.' OBSERVER.
