 one who has an eye for a horse will delight iu Mr. Stiugcss's illustrations." — Illus- 

 trated Sporting (uul Dramatic Kcivs. 



" The author has pi-oduced a volume whioh will be liiglily popular with the class of 

 readers for whom it is intended. lie writes iu a rollicking, good-tempered sort of way 

 that they will appreciate. The ' get-up ' of the volume is creditable to the publishers." 

 — Athcnaum. 



" For ourselves, we may siuiply record the fact that we took up the volume on going 

 to bed last night, and were so much interested that we lost several hours sleep thereby, 

 and if our example is followed by our hunting readers, we can honestly assui'e them 

 that they will be ctpally pleased. The coloured illustrations are excellent." — The 

 Field. 



" The work could not have been done by better hands ; in fact, it is doubtful whether 

 anj' other one man in England could have done it. The narratives are full of life and 

 vigour." — Count// Goitlcinan's JS'nvspaper. 



" Whether cub-hunting, or at regular work, the author is always happy describing 

 good runs and thrilling adventures b}' held, Hood, and even railways." — BaihJ s Monthly 

 Magazine. 



" There is a verve al)0ut it which must carry the interest of all classes of readers by 

 storm, and in even,- page there is that irresistible chann boi-n of the conviction that the 

 writer is as consummate a master of Ids language as he is of his subject. The illustra- 

 tions by Mr. Sturgess arc admirable." — St. Stiphens Review. 



" These ' Skimmings ' are interesting from first to last. The ' Cream of Leicester- 

 shire' is the acme of a huntsman's book."- — Morning Fast.
