BY THE SAME AUTHOR. 



SKETCHES IN THE HUNTING-FIELD. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" They show spirit and freshness as well as knowledge, and the 

 author writes like a gentleman as well as like a sportsman." — Saturday 

 Revieiv. 



" Light and lively, and have the merit of being dashed off closely 

 from the life with telling touches of humour. Mr. Watson has been 

 fortunate, besides, in finding such an artist as Mr. Sturgess to illustrate 

 his meaning . . . the pair go very smoothly in harness together." — 

 Times. 



" A remarkably pleasant and interesting volume." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



" The whole volume is so pleasantly kindly, so frankly good-humoured 

 and dashing, as to leave the reader with very agreeable feelings." — 

 Vanity Fair. 



" One of the brightest collections of hunting sketches we have ever 

 read." — Land and Water. 



" Dashing and hearty, free and fresh in style. . . . The spirited 

 chapters of Mr. Watson find an able illustrator in Mr. Sturgess." — Daily 

 Telegraph. 



" A series of more lively hunting sketches have not been written 

 since the days of ' Jorrocks.' . . . The illustrations are full of life and 

 vigour." — Bell's Life. 



" Written in a pleasing and polished style." — Field. 



" Bright and pleasant reading. For a country home library it will 

 prove an invaluable addition." — County Gentleman. 



"Mr. Alfred Watson's lively little volume. ... Mr. Sturgess's 

 admirable illustrations." — World. 



" Mr. Sturgess draws horses better than almost any living artist; one 

 fancies that one can hear the hoofs of some of them ringing as they go." 



— Standard.
