Mrs. Allingham’s pictures of English rural life and scenery are 
already famous. She possesses a rare power of expressing the 
incomparable beauty of the commons, gardens, and cottages of 
England, and each drawing forms a perfect little idyll in colour. 
The counties of Surrey, Sussex, and Kent naturally provide a 
wealth of charming subjects for the volume, and examples are also 
given of cottages in Cheshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, the Isle of 
Wight, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, etc. 
Mr. Stewart Dick’s letterpress gives an extremely interesting 
account of the history and construction of the ancient cottages and 
farmhouses for which English country districts are conspicuous. 
Among the contents are chapters on the Evolution of the Cottage, 
the Great Building Time, the Structure, Tiled and Thatched 
Cottages, Mud Cottages, Stone Cottages of the Cotswolds, Farm- 
houses, Inns, and Old Gardens, 
TEN YEARS OF GAME-KEEPING. 
By OWEN JONES. 
With Numerous Illustvations from Photographs by the Author. One 
Volume. Demy 8vo., cloth. 10s, 6d. net. 
The author, who was educated at Marlborough and Oxford Uni- 
versity, being reluctant to follow a conventional pursuit, took up the 
occupation of a Gamekeeper as a means of livelihood. After twelve 
years’ experience he feels that he is thoroughly acquainted with his 
subject, and that the public may be interested to read a record of 
what he has seen and learned in the course of his duties. As regards 
game, Mr. Owen Jones gives many a wrinkle about partridges, 
pheasants, hares, rabbits, and wild fowl, that may be studied with 
advantage by the owner or tenant ofa shooting. There are chapters 
on vermin, trespassers and poachers, and the great question of foxes. 
Some very attractive reminiscences are given of ‘My Dogs’; 
while ‘ My First Shoot,’ ‘ My Brother Keepers,’ ‘ Tips and Tippers,’ 
present certain aspects of sport from an original and novel point of 
view.
