SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON 



'THE MOOR AND THE LOCH.' 



" TN 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 thus brought up to the pres- 

 ent 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 indispensable in every Scotch shooting-lodge." Academy. 



" 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." Blackwood's Magazine. 



" We should recommend fishers to study carefully all the chapters 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.
