The Standard. " He made the sporting novel something so entirely different 

 to what it had been, that he must be recognised as the originator of a new species 

 more elevated, more refined, and more largely imbued with the spirit of modern 

 society." 



Saturday Review. "What is most rare in writers of this class, Whyte- 

 Melville possessed to a considerable degree namely, the ability to hold the 

 attention of readers, whether they were sportsmen or not." 



The Times. "The edition has everything to recommend it externally." 



The Times. "Good paper and type and a good serviceable binding." 



The Field. " Altogether a pleasure to read." 



Pall Mall Gazette. " These tasteful buckram volumes are worthy of the man 

 and the matter in them."
