CRITICAL 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."— AVa; VorA 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 l^ife. 



" Bliss Carman, speaking of * 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."— Tlfttf 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."~jV«t^ 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,"— CAica^tf Tribune.
