OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



The Athenaeum says : " This is an amusing little book, 

 written with much brightness and considerable literary skill." 



The Standard, Dec. 24, 1884 : " It is written in an ex- 

 ceptionally bright and genial style ... his writings bespeak an 

 intense love of Nature and a keen power of observation. A 

 strong vein of quiet humour runs through the volume, mingled 

 with thoughts sometimes serious, sometimes playful. Altogether 

 it is one of the most pleasantly written little books which we 

 have read for a long time." 



The Daily News says: "Herein is the charm of the 

 book. . . . For an amateur, he certainly saturates you 

 thoroughly with true Dove Dale flavour." 



The Pall Mall Gazette : " This is a pleasant book to read 

 ' now that the fields are dank and ways are mire.' " 



The World says : " Not merely by brethren of the rod, but 

 by all who appreciate Nature in her prettiest haunts it will be 

 found pleasant reading." 



The Illustrated News says: "This charming bit of 

 personal narrative . . . will certainly be preserved on many a 

 shelf where Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton hold the most 

 honoured place." 



The Graphic says : " Written in a charming spirit, with 

 plenty of quiet humour in it." 



Harper's Magazine, Jan. 1885:" He is serus studlorum, 

 he is only learning to fish, but he can write, and has made a very 

 charming though brief addition to angling literature."
