OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



* An excellent work indeed, and full of capital illustrations, is 'Modern Wild- 

 fowling; ' to recommend it aright I should have, if I were clever enough, and it did 

 not already exist, to Invent the famous phrase, 'a book no gentleman's library 

 should he without.' "Truth, March 17, 1881. 



" This book deals not only with the various modes of approaching or decoying, 

 and killing wildfowl of all kinds, but enters into minute details upon the construc- 

 tion of punts, both single and double handed; sails ; punt guns, muzzle-loading as 

 well as breechloading; recoil apparatus; and shoulder guns of all patterns, with 

 the varying loads required for different bores. In addition to this are several 

 chapters devoted to a narration of the adventures of the author while in pursuit of 



wildfowl, both at home and abroad which are very pleasant reading 



With the addition of a good index, sportsmen will have in this work a capital vade 

 mecvm on the art of wildfowling. The Zoologist for November, 1880.
