A FEW PRESS OPINIONS

SHOTS FROM A LAWYER'S GUN 



" We have read this book from end to end with great pleasure. Mr Everitt's 

 style is well calculated to lure any sportsman into reading his lectures to the 

 end. Even the professional poacher may be grateful to the writer. The pages 

 are full of chatty and amusing anecdotes. We may disinterestedly commend 

 Mr Everitt's book, from which readers will obtain both sound instruction and 

 more amusement than they would find in the average sensation novel." The 

 Field. 



" We can congratulate Mr Everitt on this interesting work. We may say 

 that Mr Everitt's law is thoroughly sound." Land and Water. 



" A comprehensive survey of all matters likely to interest sportsmen. It is 

 interesting and amusing to note the number of popular fallacies which Mr 

 Everitt explodes. Here hunting men will find that fox-hunting is a trespass in 

 spite of a contrary popular belief ; landowners will discern that the popular 

 four-feet rule in connection with ditches is fallacious ; shooting lawyers will find 

 how easily they may be 'cornered' by difficult questions of game ownership. 

 The author's easy, familiar, and yet instructive style will be recognised. The 

 book is really an amusing dissertation in the form of articles and interviews on 

 & subject of interest to all who live in the country. We can promise all buyers 

 their full money's worth in both instruction and amusement. " Laiv Notes. 



" Mr Everitt has made many a good shot in his book, which mixes the useful 

 with the agreeable. Mr Everitt is a safe guide. He knows his subject un- 

 commonly well." The Athenwum. 



" This book is a veritable triumph. Every point of law in connection with 

 game preservation is most ably dealt with, and the interest never flags throughout. 

 This work on the Game Laws is peculiarly one for gamekeepers, and, indeed, 

 we feel convinced that the author had their requirements in view when penning 

 it. With the aid of a collection of characters, more or less fictitious, but 

 wonderfully human, every contingency likely to occur as regards poaching is 

 reviewed as if on the stage, and the whole thing is enlivened by the most 

 amusing and original anecdotes. We strongly advise our readers to get this 

 book . ' ' The Gamekeeper. 



" An instructive and, at the same time, an amusing little manual on this 

 interesting subject, a good deal of it being given dramatically in the form of 

 dialogue between solicitor and client." The Standard. 



" ' Shots from a Lawyer's Gun ' is one of those books which no country house 

 should be without. It is a useful book, as well as an amusing one, and I cannot 

 say greater things in its favour than that Mr Everitt knows his subject thoroughly, 

 arid writes about it in an entertaining manner. 1 ' The Sporting Times or " Pink 

 *un." 



' ' We commend the book to all sportsmen and farmers, and do so because it 

 is packed with information, and at the same time as readable as any novel." 

 The Leeds Mercury. 



" In reading this volume you can gain knowledge and have a jolly good laugh 

 at the same time. There is not a dry sentence in the entire book. Sportsmen 

 should read it, gamekeepers should read it, and so should tenant farmers and 

 even poachers. 4s. 6d. is cheap enough for so laborious an enterprise, and the 

 wonder to us is that it is not retailed at ' six-and-eight.' " The Shooting Times. 



"A book that should be in the hands of every sportsman and country 

 gentlem an . " To- day.
