" Captain Maxwell's directions addressed to young 

 sportsmen on the right way of shooting driven birds 

 are very good, and, so far as shooting can be learned 

 from books, no doubt have their value. His descrip- 

 tion, however, of a day's blackcock shooting is what 

 we like best in the book. It is very well done, and 

 among the best bits of sporting literature we have 

 recently met with." The Standard. 



"Captain Maxwell's portion of the volume is 

 brightly written and very pleasant reading . . . 

 dealing with grouse -driving his contributions are 

 very sound." Dundee Advertiser. 



"Captain Maxwell deals with his subject in a 

 most exhaustive and thorough manner and with 

 obvious expert knowledge. From his instructions 

 any intelligent keeper could learn how best to work 

 his ground. The author writes of the sporting black- 

 game and the ptarmigan of the hill-tops in a bright, 

 attractive style." Manchester Guardian. 



" Captain Maxwell's chapters dealing with grouse- 

 driving are very clear and useful, and the information 

 with reference to the construction of butts, etc., 

 should prove invaluable to those newly taking up a 

 moor. Very practical too is the information imparted 

 to the guns ; the etiquette of the drive, the training 

 of the dogs, the various and best methods of holding 

 the gun, the birds to be chosen, and so on, being 

 lucidly and concisely described. The book indeed 

 is a most satisfactory production and reflects credit 

 alike upon authors, artist, and publishers." The 

 Outlook.
