SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" In the present delightful volumes, however, he presents all 

 lovers of Scotland with the completest details of every Highland 

 sport, on all of which he is an unexceptionable authority ; and with 

 what many will value even more, a series of life-like sketches of 

 the rarer and more interesting animals -of the country. He has 

 thas brought UD to the present level of knowledge the history of 

 all the scarce birds and beasts of Scotland. . . . Henceforth 

 it must necessarily find a place in the knapsack of every Northern 

 tourist who is fond of our wild creatures, and is simply indis- 

 pensable in every Scotch shooting-lodge." Academy. 



"We should recommend fishers to study carefully all the chap- 

 ters on fishing for salmon, loch trout, sea trout, and yellow trout, 

 whatever may be their experience or erudition. They will find 

 general hints of immense use which they can apply to that local 

 knowledge of their own river or ' water' which no books can 

 teach, and which Mr Colquhoun himself would equally have to 

 learn. But no chapter ought to be skipped, even by a reader 

 who aspires to far less than the fourfold distinction of a Highland 

 hunter, which consists in killing a red-deer, an eagle, a salmon, 

 and a seal." Saturday Review. 



" The book is one written by a gentleman for gentlemen, 

 healthy in tone, earnest in purpose, and as fresh, breezy, and 

 life-giving as the mountain air of the hills amongst which the 

 sport it chronicles is carried on." The World. 



"One of those rare and delightful books which, with all the 

 fulness of knowledge, breathe the very freshness of the country, 

 and either console you in your city confinement, or make you 

 sigh to be away, according to the humour in which you happen 

 to read it." Blackivood's Magazine.
