' Whether, indeed, to while away an idle half-hour at home, on a railway journej;, or as a 

 companion in the field, it would be difficult to find a more entertaining and instructive work 

 of its kind. The epithet "delightful " suits it exactly.'— Mature. 



' Sir Herbert Maxwell has written a book which has more in it of the true insight and joy 

 in Nature than a shelf of inflated essays and tortuous poetry. It is a volume of excellent 

 gossip the note-hook of a well-informed and high-spirited student of Nature and his fellows, 

 where the sportsman's ardour is tempered always with the sympathy of the lover of wild 

 things, and the naturalist's interest is leavened with the humour of a cultivated man of the 

 wotld.'^Spectator. 



'The present volume is to the full as delightful as its predecessor. These notes and 

 reflections of a keen sportsman and a keen, often sensitive, observer of Nature, are of a kind 

 that appeals to a larger audience than any mere sportsman can command. —.S/. James s 

 Gazette.
