SOME PRESS OPINIONS. 



The sportsman. — "A more delightful book — nay, so delightful a book — is not 

 met with once in a generation. It is sui generis ; we know of none that can 

 pretend to compace with it. There is not a line in it that cannot be read with 

 pleasure, while the whole volume contains such a record of interesting and thrilling 

 adventure as one rarely meets with." 



The Field. — " The story is told with great animation throughout, and with a 

 sense of humour that carries one on attentively to the end. We shall be much 

 mistaken if this very attractive volume on big game shooting is not soon in a 

 second edition." 



Tlie Athtnceum. — "That most attractive book, 'Two Dianas in Somaliland,' 

 which shows the author to be almost as skilful with her pen as with the rifle ; and 

 that is saying a great deal. The book is exceptionally interesting." 



The County Gentleman. — " Miss Herbert's light, breezy style in dealing with the 

 humours of camp life is highly entertaining. We have never read a more piquantly 

 written narrative of big game shooting." 



Country Li/e. — " This sprightly and amusing book, full of wild life and adventure, 

 of difficulties and dangers pluckily overcome is a welcome change after the 

 innumerable recitals of ' mere man ' in Africa." 



The IVorld. — " Miss Herbert wields her pen to good purpose. She has a keen 

 sense of humour, she goes straight to the point, she scorns padding in purple 

 patches, and yet so vivid is her style that she at once interests the reader in her 

 subject. No man, and few women, will fail to follow her to the end of her 

 adventures." 



The Liverpool Post. — " It is a most chatty and vivacious account. The book 

 can be enjoyed by all, sportsmen or not, and it will assuredly take an honoured 

 place among its kind." 



The Daily News. — "Certain to receive a friendly welcome from the general 

 reader. A keen eye for the humorous side of things, a fluent and lively pen, and 

 occasionally the display of a somewhat caustic wit, make the volume most amusing 

 reading. We congratulate the authoress on the lively narrative. One can only 

 hope that she will once again go a-hunting, and once again tell its story." 



The Birmingham Post. — "This is a book to read, if only for its delightfully 

 unconventional vein ; and there is a subtle suggestion of romance about it too." 



The Dundee Advertiser. — "The book in some respects is marvellous. It is the 

 revelation of a sportswoman's mind. Miss Herbert has a facile pen." 



The Manchester Courier. — "Miss Herbert's book is written light-heartedly. It is 

 a delightfully humorous and witty record. It is also an assuming one." 



The Daily Telegraph. — "This finely-printed and well-illustrated volume is a 

 thoroughly entertaining and amusing record. Every sportsman will find this brisk 

 and vivacious narrative to his taste." 



The Daily Mail. — " ' Two Dianas in Somaliland ' is a book out of the common 

 run . . . very attractive reading." 



The Scotsman. — "Certainly no one who reads this narrative will fail to be 

 keenly interested and amused." 



The Daily Chronicle. — "You need not be a sportsman — or a sportswoman — to 

 enjoy this book, because it has a vivacity which would carry any reader along. It 

 is written with the merry heart that goes all the day, and it has much to record 

 besides lion killing." 



The Evening Standard. — " We are sure that no such story was ever related with 

 greater charm or incisiveness. The volume is very welcome."
