OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" There are still too many sportsmen who need to have their slumbering 

 senses aroused, and to be taught the interest they might find in a converse 

 with Nature. Such a one is not Mr. Knox. He is manifestly a sportsman, 



and a keen one Already our readers perceive that we are introducing 



to them a genuine enthusiast. In truth, though written by a man whose 

 profession and habits differ in many respects from his, the volume continually 

 reminds us of our old delight, White of Selborne. Like White, Mr. Knox 

 is a scholar bred at Oxford, and like White he is a close observer of 

 Nature, who jots down what he sees in his own neighbourhood or excur- 

 sions from mere love to that of which he writes, and not to make a book." 

 Quarterly Review. 



" The pleasant pages before us are evidently the work of one who has 

 studied Nature in her most attractive form. A sportsman, a naturalist, and 

 a gentleman, he enters on his subject with all the ardour which a love of his 

 favourite pursuits inspires, and with a freshness of feeling seldom found but 

 among those who, like himself, have followed over hill and dale those manly 

 sports in which our countrymen generally excel." Morning Post. 



" We must say that Mr. Knox is one of the most agreeable guides it has 

 been our good luck to accompany in these excursive rambles. Patient obser- 

 vation, good feeling, gentlemanly manner, scientific cultivation, and a very 

 taking style, recommend his volume to every reader of taste and discern- 

 ment." Literary Gazette. 



" This is a delightful book, written by a man of talent and a genuine lover 

 of Nature." Brighton Herald. 



" The author is a man after one's own heart, regardless of a little fatigue 



or inconvenience when in the pursuit of natural-history lore The 



subject of migration is treated with much skill, and ornithologists are deeply 

 indebted to Mr. Knox for his capital and novel observations on this subject." 

 Zoologist.
