NOTICES 



"One of the most thoroughly attractive of the autumn books. . . . The 

 story is almost too perfect a whole to lend itself readily to quotation. . . 

 A story to be read and re-read, finding fresh beauty at each reading, and a 

 book well worth the owning. . . . It is impossible to write too highly of the 

 illustrations. Pictures which really illustrate are all too rare, and the combi- 

 nation of author-artist is usually a fascinating one." New York Times. 



" It is difficult to determine which gives one the most pleasure in a book 

 by Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson the author-artist's narrative or the artist- 

 author's pictures. The two together certainly, as in the case of ' The Trail of 

 the Sandhill Stag,' unite to produce a singularly harmonious result. Mr. 

 Seton-Thompson can read the heart of the hunted animal as well as count the 

 pulse-beats of the huntsman himself, and in this tale is condensed the whole 

 tragic story of the chase. This double point of view is unique with this 

 writer."" Droch " in Life. 



" Bliss Carman, speaking of 4 The Trail of the Sandhill Stag,' says : ' I had 

 fancied that no one could touch ' The Jungle Book ' for a generation at least, 

 but Mr. Thompson has done it. We must give him place among the young 

 masters at once.' And we agree with Mr. Carman." The Bookman. 



" Nothing more beautiful in a dainty way has been brought out in Canada." 



Toronto World. 



" It gives us again glimpses of the life of animals that are astonishing for 

 their delicacy of perception, and charming by the deftness of their literary 

 form." New York Mail and Express. 



"A breezy little narrative of outdoor life. . . . The author has cele- 

 brated the steadfast hunt and its interesting end with art and emotion" 



New York Tribune. 



" Is a truly poetic bit of impressionistic prose." Chicago Tribune.
