strongly. Never before has the subject been treated in the same exhaustive 

 way, and there can be no doubt whatever that the Grouse has found in Lord 

 Lovat its champion, and from his very apparent love of his subject he will be 

 perfectly satisfied to find his reward in popularising modern and sensible 

 treatment of Grouse ground. 



The Spectator, August i2th, 1911. 



The Committee of Inquiry on ( ' Grouse Disease," appropriately enough with 

 the opening of the shooting season, have issued their final report, and they 

 are to be congratulated, not only upon the success to which their labours 

 have led them, but on the admirable form in which they present their 

 conclusions to the public. 



The Committee have succeeded in their object. They have discovered the 

 origin and the meaning of what has come to be generally known as " Grouse 

 Disease," and incidentally they have made clear a number of points on which 

 there existed doubt and confusion. 



Country Life, August i2th, 1911. 



The final report of the Committee of Inquiry on " Grouse Disease," forms 

 a vastly interesting and exhaustive monograph on the life-history of the Red 

 Grouse both in health and disease, and is undoubtedly one of the most 

 complete and valuable works that have ever been placed before the public. 



The Pelican, August 2$rd, 1911. 



If all official Blue Books were as interesting, as ably compiled, and as 

 excellently illustrated as Lord Lo vat's Grouse Commission Report there would 

 be a greater demand for those particular volumes than at present exists. 



The Illustrated London News, September gth, 1911. 



It is a source of gratification alike to scientists and to sportsmen that the 

 ' ( Report of the Committee of Inquiry on ( Grouse Disease ' " is now at hand 

 in the shape of two large handsome volumes, thoroughly illustrated, and 

 printed in artistic style. The real title of the work is " The Grouse in Health 

 and in Disease," so that apart from the main feature of the volumes dealing 

 with the typical bird-ailment, we find hi this work a very complete monograph 

 of all that concerns the bird and its welfare. 



The Irish Field, September i6th, 1911. 



After very lengthy deliberation the report of the Commission on " Grouse 

 Disease" has appeared in the shape of two weighty volumes, and the delay 

 is to be forgiven in the face of the supreme interest of the work. 



The Lancet, September ^oth, 1911. 



The report is a model of what such work should be, and is a good example 

 of the way in which scientific medicine is now bound up with every phase 

 of social life.
