Mr. Edward Arnold's Autumn Announcements. g 



first-hand information supplied by Lord Ernest St. Maur, H. S. 

 Gladstone, J. S. Carr-Ellison, C. R. J. Hoare, Courtenay Tracy, 

 Rouse Ball, Dr. Henry Jackson, O.M , H. C. Howard, C. J. Cropper, 

 Kenneth Walker, and many others. After some interesting pre- 

 liminary chapters on the ethics of the sport, and the attitude adopted 

 towards it by the rest of the University, we come to the time when 

 Mr. ' Pat ' Currey, an Assistant Tutor of Trinity, brought his pack 

 over from Ireland in 1867. This began the continuous history of 

 the Beagles, although previously hunting had gone on in a desultory 

 way, but it was Mr. Rowland Hunt Mother ' Hunt now M.P., 

 who may be said to have put the pack upon its present basis. 

 Among his successors were ' Fresher ' Pease and ' Judy ' Carr- 

 Ellison, to whose time a chapter is devoted. Much useful information 

 relating to farmers, food, kennels, and hunt management is included, 

 while funny stories and references to well-known characters abound. 

 Mr. Kempson is reponsible for a number of the pictures, and others 

 have been reproduced from the club book. 



A STAFF-OFFICER'S SCRAP-BOOK 

 DURING THE RUSSO-JAPANESE 



WAR. 



By General Sir IAN HAMILTON, G.C.B., D.S.O. 



A New and Popular Edition in One Volume. With all the Original Maps 

 and Plans, and a Frontispiece. Large Crown Svo. js. 6d. net. 



It is needless to describe at length this well-known and important 

 work which has attained the rank of a classic in military history. 

 It has been translated into Russian, French, and German, and in 

 curtailing the work for this popular edition, the author has taken as 

 a model the abridgment of the original carried out by two dis- 

 tinguished officers of the German General Staff, for, as he justly 

 says, " the feelings of an author are apt to get in his way when he is 

 asked to use the scissors himself." At the same time, he believes 

 that the result of the pruning is entirely beneficial, and hopes that in 

 its present form it may reach a much wider public than was possible 

 before. All the original plans and maps which were such a valuable 

 feature of the two-volume edition have been retained.
