MR. MILLAIS' AND OTHER WORKS. 



BRITISH DEER AND THEIR HORNS; 



With 185 Text and Full-page Illustrations, mostly by the Author; also 10 Electrogravures and a 

 Coloured Frontispiece by the Author and Sydney Steel, and a Series of Unpublished Drawings by Sir 

 Edwin Landseer, which were formerly on the walls of Ardverikie. One volume imperial 4to, printed by 

 Messrs. R. & R. Clark on Art Paper, bound in buckram, top edges gilt, £4 4s. nett. 



Many books have been written on the stalking of the deer, but assuredly the noble denizens of the forests and 

 southland parks have never had such a tribute before as in Mr. Millais's magnificent volume. In sporting language 

 they speak of warrantable stags ; we should say that this is a warrantable deer book. — Times. 



Mr. J. G. Millais's fine book on British Deer is one of the best monographs of the kind yet written ; and, for com- 

 prehensive interest, other than that attaching to these animals as objects of the chase, it deserves to rank as the first 

 authority on the subject. So far from finding it difficult to say anything new, he says very little which is not new, and 

 though its interest is less varied than that of his South African notes in A Breath from the Veldt, many of the drawings 

 from nature are quite as brilliant, and the letterpress is, from the nature of the subject, more complete. — Spectator. 



The standard authority on the Habits and Hybrids of the British Tetraonida. 



GAME BIRDS AND SHOOTING SKETCHES; 



Illustrating the Habits, Modes of Capture, Stages of Plumage, and the Hybrids and Varieties which 

 occur among them. New and Cheaper Edition, in one volume octavo, printed on Art Paper, bound in 

 buckram. With 57 Illustrations by the Author, and a Frontispiece by Sir John Millais, i8s. nett. 



Though the Game Birds of this country are but few, and most men interested in sport have within their reach 

 excellent pictures of the various species which are already best known to them in their complete stage of plumage, as 

 yet no work that has been published in this country has entered fully upon a thorough description by illustration of all the 

 stages of plumage, in addition to the varieties, hybrids, and unusual habits that are not perhaps generally known to the 

 ordinary sportsman. He should therefore possess such a book, at a reasonable price, which will fill to as large an extent 

 as possible this existing want, so that he may be able to use it as a book of reference to recognise at once any form or 

 variety of the birds of the chase, rare or common, that may have puzzled him to identify. 



It has therefore been the writer's object for some years past to produce such a work, and he has spared neither 

 labour nor expense to render it as complete and comprehensive as possible.
