'An Amateur Angler's Days in Dovedale.' . . . Frank's draw- 

 ings, here engraved, prove that he is not one of the ordinary 

 young men who think that wild life is all sport and indolence. 

 He can write, he can ride, he can draw, he can catch sea-trout 

 with a bit of red flannel for fly, he can fell trees and make fences, 

 and work in snow up to the waist, and have time to be anxious 

 for Gordon, who died one year ago. ... It is an excellent little 

 book.' 



Morning Post. " Brightly written. . . . Pleasant as well 

 as useful reading." 



The Pall Mall Gazette. "These lively and genial pages 

 are the record of the father's visit to the snug little ranche which 

 the peculiar son has built for himself at the foot of the Rockies. 

 But Frank is a good type of the high-spirited young English- 

 man, who prefers to split rails, fell timber, and make fences, to 

 the addition of figures. . . . Written with much humour, . . . 

 this pleasant and instructive little volume."

Pictorial "World. "The book is one for every parent to 

 consider and reflect over, and no young aspirant to colonial life 

 should omit to peruse it. Its lessons are priceless ; for it tells 

 the reader how to work for success and how to win it. ... The 

 little volume is also a very entertaining record of travel the 

 harvest of an observant eye." 



St. Stephen's Review. "One of the chattiest and most 

 interesting little books of travel I have read for some time. . . . 

 The charm of the book lies, of course, in its complete ease and 

 unaffectedness. . . . Should be a great success." 



Whitehall Review. "The writer is one of the most sen- 

 sible men of the age. . . . Last winter he gave a charming narra- 

 tive of his experiences as an angler during a summer outing in 

 England ; this season he supplies as fascinating an account of 

 his holiday in the Rocky Mountains." 



Illustrated News, Feb. 27. "A sensible, brightly written, 

 and for the young man who wishes to pitch his tent in the Far 

 West, a most serviceable little volume. The letters Frank 

 writes home describe very graphically the difficulties and plea- 

 sures of the wild and solitary life he was forced to lead."
