With numerous Illustrations by Lieut-General HENRY HOPE CREALOCKE, C.B.

 From THE TIMES. 



"We have read the late Mr. Bromley-Davenport's book on ' Sport 1 with mingled pleasure and 

 regret. We are sorry to think we shall have nothing more from a man who might certainly have made 

 himself a reputation as a writer. A better ' all-round ' sportsman never lived, and a brighter volume 

 has seldom been written on sporting subjects. Everywhere we recognise genuine literary talent a 

 light touch ; vividly picturesque descriptions ; r the gift of describing every day incidents dramatically, 

 with a humorous insight into the natures both of men and beasts. There is a racy freshness in every 

 page, and the practical knowledge brought to the work is unimpeachable. . . . For himself, he was 

 a country gentleman of the best type, who had always lived on kindly terms with the tenantry 

 among whom his ancestors had been settled for some 900 years. Yet Mr. Davenport's literary work, 

 excellent as it is, is run hard by General Crealocke's illustrations. Each of the sketches, while 

 strikingly realistic, is a study of the poetry, the pathos, or the humour of wild animal life. 1 hus 

 nothing can be more inspiriting than the noble group of Highland stags on the frontispiece, 

 voluptuously sniffing the fresh breeze on their native hills, with far-gazing eyes and distended 

 nostrils. . . . General Crealocke's hounds, hares, pheasants, &c., are all equally good ; and perhaps 

 the most spirited and original of all are his salmon, seen through the transparent medium of their 

 native element. . . . Paper, print, and illustrations are all that can be desired." 



THE RACEHORSE IN TRAINING, 



With some Hints on Racing and Racing Reform. To which is added a chapter on "Shoeing." 

 BY WILLIAM DAY. 



Fifth Edition. Demy 8vo. 9$. 

 From THE PALL MALL GAZETTE. 



"The chronicles of post and paddock contain scarcely any name either better or longer known 

 than that of Day. What a Day, whether of Danebury, or of Stcckbridge, or ofWopdyates, has to 

 tell us about the racehorse and pertinent matters is almost as worthy of attention as what a 

 Gamaliel might have to say upon a very different subject. For the Days have been noted 

 jockeys, trainers, and owners from ths time of the first ' honest John ' to that of ' our William.' 

 And Mr. William Day, who has now added a deed of authorship to his feats of horsemanship, 

 trainership, and ownership, speaks with extraordinary authority upon a certain question of training. 

 He omits sensational anecdotes, though he could no doubt have astonished his readers had he 

 chosen to draw upon his memory for strange stories ; and he adopts, on the contrary, a quiet, 

 business-like, simple style, exhibiting here and there an ingenuous disposition quite different from 

 the Machiavellian character which general opinion attributes to the tiainer of racehorses." 



THE PYTCHLEY BOOK OF REFINED 

 COOKERY AND BILLS OF FARE. 



BY MAJOR L*****. 



Large Crown 8vo. 6s. 

 From THE SPORTSMAN. 



"This is a volume which will be found particularly useful during the approaching hunting 

 season, and to those who are in the habit of giving hunt breakfasts or similar parties it will be 

 invaluable. The author deals with the subject of cookery in a lucid and exhaustive manner, a 

 special feature in the publication being a collection of ' bills of fare,' which comprises twelve for 

 each month of the year. ' Wines and their service ' are also dealt with." 



LOG-BOOK OF A FISHERMAN AND 

 ZOOLOGIST. 



BY FRANK BUCKLAND. 



With numerous Illustrations. Fifth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 5,1. 



From THE GRAPHIC. 



" We welcome once more the freshest and most genial of the many writers who aim at 

 popularising among us habits of observation, and the intelligent love of natural history."
