"A small volume is here recommended, not only to the sportsman but to the 

 _ ineral reader, which while it deals with all field sports even with the rat and 

 the badger and deals with them all lovingly as things of beauty and joys for 

 ever, while it delights by the freshness of its story-telling, and ascends to high 

 pathos in its incidents, is replete with a knowledge which nothing short of a 

 life study can have given." Fortnightly Review. 



" The contents of this volume are formed in part of magazine papers which 

 have already received the approbation of the sporting public, in part of original 

 matter, which equally deserves to receive it. The two autobiographies of the 

 salmon and the fox were much admired at the time for the freshness and vigour 

 of the narrative, as well as for the knowledge they displayed both of natural 

 history and field sports. In our judgment, however, the third portion of the 

 work, now published for the first time, with the title of ' Bolsover Forest,' is 

 the most interesting of the three, dealing as it does more particularly with that 

 delightful border-land on which the sportsman and the naturalist meet. . . . 

 'Bolsover Forest' is a history of bird's nesting, rat-catching, badger-hunting, 

 snake-taming, and such other sports, partly juvenile, partly common to all ages, 

 as he who has once tasted will always look back upon with pleasure." Pall 

 Mall Gazette.
