Mr. Holder is a resident of the country of which 

 he writes, and has ridden, driven, sailed, tramped, 

 fished, and shot over every foot of the forest and 

 sea, plain and mountain, which he describes so 

 picturesquely and with such keen delight. He has 

 written this book with zest, and the reader finds 

 himself perusing the volume with a corresponding 

 sensation. Mr. Holder cares little for literary 

 punctilio and comes into print in the breezy, jaunty 

 fashion with which we fancy his tramping the coun- 

 try with rod or gun. His book is a chronicle of 

 sporting experiences that carries along with it a 

 good deal of exciting narrative and a considerable 

 amount of interesting information in regard to 

 social life, as well as the flora and fauna of the 

 country he loves so well.
