WORKS BY THE LATE RICHARD JEFFERIES. 



THE GAMEKEEPER AT HOME ; or, Sketches of Natural 



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



Crown 8vo. 5s. 



'Delightful sketches. We do not need the author's assurance that his facts have been 

 gathered from personal observation. This is so obvious from every page that, excepting the 

 "Natural History of Selborne," we remember nothing that has impressed us so certainly 

 with the conviction of a minute and vivid exactness. The lover of the country can hardly 

 tail to be fascinated whenever he may happen to open the pages. It is a book to read and 

 keep for reference, and should be oa the shelves of every country gentleman's library.' 

 SATURDAY REVIEW. 



ROUND ABOUT A GREAT ESTATE. New Edition. Crown 



8vo. 5*. 



' 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. 6*. 



'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. The author's observation of man is as 

 close and true as his observation of the lower animals. 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 lias 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. This fascinating and interesting volume is the work of a man of 

 keen and cultured observation, and will afford delight and instruction to all.' THE GRAPHIC. 



HODGE AND HIS MASTERS. New Edition. Cr. 8vo. 7s. 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 tind 

 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.' ATHEX^UM. 



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



Naturalist. Edited by J. A. OWEN. Second 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 bock is capitally 

 written, full of good stories, and thoroughly commendable.' THE ATHBN^UM. 



FOREST TITHES ; and other Studies from Nature, By the 



Author of ' Woodland, Moor, and Stream ' &c. Edited by J. A. WK.V. Crown 8vo. 5a. 

 ' 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 the fish.' SPECTATOR.
