" Sport, however, it must be borne in mind, is a thing of every cHmate and of ail 

 seasons, and the manual referred to — The Sportsman'' s Handbook, by Rowland Ward, 

 F.Z.S. — has a little to say of most regions, from the north of Scandinavia to the 

 south of India. All knowledge is apt to come in useful ; and even those of us who 

 may never know the delight of facing a charge of the Cape buffalo — under some 

 circumstances among the most dangerous experiences of the sportsman, we are told 

 — may yet find a less rapturous pleasure in learning how a real sportsman should 

 entertain such a visitor. The next best thing to being able to shoot a lion in a work- 

 manlike fashion is to know how the thing ought to be done, and that is among the 

 items of instruction in this little book." — Daily News (Leading Article). 



"With this in his portmanteau, no one fond of shooting and collecting need any 

 longer lament his inability to preserve his trophies, since the directions given for 

 skinning and preserving animals of all kinds are extremely clear and simple, and 

 rendered all the more intelligible by the wood engravings by which they are accom- 

 panied. Quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects are all dealt with in turn, 

 and directions given not merely for skinning them, but also for mounting them, if 

 desired, a year or two (it may be) after they have been procured," — Field.
