Large crown %vo, with Illustrations in Photogravure, 7s. 6d. 



' Whether, indeed, to while away an idle half-hour at home, on a railway journey;, or as a 

 companion in the field, it would be difficult to find a more entertaining and instructive work 

 of its kind. The epithet "delightful " suits it exactly.' Mature. 



' Sir Herbert Maxwell has written a book which has more in it of the true insight and joy 

 in Nature than a shelf of inflated essays and tortuous poetry. It is a volume of excel], 

 gossip, the note-book of a well-informed and high-spiritea student of Nature and his llows, 

 where the sportsman's ardour is tempered always with the sympathy of the lover of wild 

 things, and The naturalist's interest is leavened with the humour of a cultivated man of the 

 world.' Spectator. 



'The present volume is to the full as delightful .as its predecessor These notes and 

 reflections of a keen sportsman and a keen, often sensitive, observer of Nature, are of a kind 

 that appeals to a larger audience than any mere sportsman can command. -St. Jamets 



Gazette.
