EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES. 



" The book will be found a welcome addition to the 

 sportsman's library." — Liverpool Mercury. 



"The author's full-page illustratious are delightful 

 things — pictures in the best sense of the word." — Newcastle 

 Chronicle. 



" Capt. Hart-Davis's delightfully breezy pages contain, 

 besides a quantity of advice to novices, and, for that 

 matter, others besides novices, a number of excellently 

 written accounts of stalks and good stories of the ' hull.' 

 The writer's pencil sketches add not a little to the 

 attractiveness of a volume that is sure to take its place on 

 the shelves of the enthusiastic stalker. . . . Every 

 page contains sound and wholesome advice on the sport 

 and everything connected with it." — County Gentleman. 



"The seventeen full-page illustrations are a pleasure to 

 look at, filled as they are with the very breath and 

 spaciousness of the lonely haunts of the deer." — Glasgow 

 Herald. 



" Such a compleat stalker is Capt. Hart-Davis, and 

 many who view his hardier craft with scant interest, or 

 even with scant sympathy, may spend a delightful hour 

 in looking over his admirable drawings." — Yorkshire 

 Observer. 



" The prime essential to make a book worth reading 

 is that the author should have familiar knowledge of his 

 subject ; but when he adds just that degree of enthusiasm 

 which renders him eloquent as well, the reader deems 

 himself fortunate. Capt. Hart-Davis, however, adds a 

 third grace, for he is his own artist likewise, and has 

 drawn a series of beautiful illustrations, rich in the true 

 atmosphere of the Highlands." — Notts Guardian. 



" Without bringing Landseer into comparison, there 

 are a number of drawings here, which for their present- 

 ment of stag and hind, of moor and fell, and misty 

 mountain side may fairly be placed against anything of 

 the kind from the pencils of Ansdell or Frederick 

 Taylor." — Bookseller. 



" One great merit that the book possesses is originality, 

 for although the subject is by no means new, the author's 

 treatment of it imparts a freshness which carries the 

 reader from page to page with sustained interest." — The 

 Field. 



" His chapters on ' Personal Equipment ' and ' The 

 Shot ' are excellent, and ought to be closely studied by all 

 novices at this sport." — Sporting and Dramatic News. 



" Capt. Hart-Davis deserves thanks not only for what he 

 has written and sketched, but also for what his book 

 suggests of the sport which holds the first place in 

 Scotland." — Land and Water. 



" The surroundings of stags in the forests of Scotland 

 are excellently represented in ' Stalking Sketches,' a 

 reprint of articles contributed to The Field, illustrated 

 by the author's drawings, which for the most part have 

 considerable artis ic merit. The articles justify republica- 

 tion, being pleasantly written and full of sound advice. 

 . . . The volume is at'ractively got up-, and should 

 please many besides deerstalkers." — Athenaum. 



"Capt. Hart-Davis has now published in book form 

 his very interesting series of ' Stalking Sketches,' which 

 originally appeared in The Field. The volume is very 

 well illustrated with a number of full-page original 

 pictures by the author. Everyone interested in our 

 forests and stalking, whether through the good fortune 

 of personal experience, or merely through the literature 

 of sport, will welcome these articles in their present 

 form." — Dundee Advertiser. 



" Sportsmen who love the red deer will give a ready 

 welcome to this readable book. It is on every page lively 

 with the interest born of an intimate practical knowledge 

 of the sport, and is illustrated by many drawings, which 

 are not only noticeable from their artistic merits, but have 

 a didactic value of their own for naturalists and young 

 sportsmen. The work makes a valuable addition to the 

 literature of its subject." — Scotsman.
