A SPRING AND SUMMER IN LAPLAND, 



WITH NOTES ON THE FAUNA OF LULEA LAPMAEK. 

 BY "AN OLD BUSHMAN," 



Author of "Bush Wanderings in Australia," "Ten Tears in Sweden," etc. 



" We trust that the 'Old Bushman's' book may send many a true naturalist, and many a holiday mater 

 too, to the country that his book so well describes." Reader. 



" As a book for general reading, ' A Spring and Summer in Lapland' will be found one of the pleasantest 

 of the season. It is, however, as an ornithologist that he will be most appreciated by scientific men, and his 

 chapters on these subjects are filled with oiiginal observations that evince an earnest desire for truth as well 

 as unusual aptitude for this species of research." Intellectual Observer. 



" The description of his being lost for nine hours at night in a snow storm is distressingly vivid ; we doubt 

 whether Defoe or George Elliot ever wrote anything finer in point of physical and psychological description. 

 There is an agonizing simplicity, a depth, force and truth of detail which could hardly be surpassed, because 

 every touch is in the nature of the thing." Spectator. 



" A volume which will be acceptable to the ornithologist and the Sportsman." Observer. 



" His notes abound in information." Sun. 



"It was a good thought that took the ' Old Bushman* on a hunting and naturalist's mission to Lapland. 

 His volume, telling of the natural features of this district, and of the many animals that are almost its only 

 inhabitants, is more full of new and solid matter than the majority of travel books, and therefore has greater 

 claims on the attention of men of science." Examiner. 



" There is no need to praise such books as this, which will attract and delight many readers. No review 

 does it justice." Standard. 



" These notes on Lapland will be very acceptable to lovers of Natural History, and particularly so to 

 students of ornithology." Notes and Queries. 



" As a chronicler of these facts, the ' Old Bushman' is strikingly conscientious. He has recorded nothing 

 which did not come under his own personal observation." Saturtt ay Review. 



" Independently of the valuable zoological information, and the useful hints to sportsmen which are to be 

 found in its pages, the book abounds with illustrative anecdotes, incidents of northern travel, the Author's 

 account of his being lost in the snow, and many other details of his experiences, render the ' Old Bushman's ' 

 work thoroughly worth reading." Athencsum. 



"What can the British sportsman require more? Let him start at once to spend the ' Spring and Sum- 

 mer in Lapland,' and take the pleasant, carefully-written volume of the ' Old Bushman ' in his pocket as 

 next to a circular note his best travelling companion." Daily News.
