WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN 
By ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON. With 200 illustrations from drawings by the author. 
Twentieth thousand. Square 12mo, $2.00. 
‘These are the stories which have most appealed to us ; but all the rest are good, and we 
have never met with a writer who has surpassed Mr. Seton-Thompson in putting himself ‘inside 
the skin’ of the animals he describes. His work may be bracketed with ‘The Jungle Book,’ and 
it has the advantage in its spirited vignettes, to say nothing of the full-page illustrations.”—7he 
Atheneum. (London.) 
A new book by the Author of ** Wild Animals I Have Known.” 
THE TRAIL OF THE SANDHILL STAG 
By ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON. With eight full-page illustrations (one in color), and 
numerous marginal illustrations from drawings by the author. Square 8vo, $1.50. 
As was the case with his ‘‘ Wild Animals I Have Known,” Mr. Seton-Thompson has given this 
new book a unique individuality of form, bringing to its embellishment many novel and original 
ideas. And the story, which is the longest, as it is the most noteworthy, that the author has 
ublished, is well deserving of his pains ; for never have the glory and the joy of the chase been 
interpreted so vividly, never the thoughts of the hunted animal so surely read and pictured. 
FISHERMAN’S LUCK 
And Other Uncertain Things. By HENRY vAN DYKE. 
Smedley, Relyea and French. 8vo, $2.00. 
A book of woodland sketches and blue-sky philosophy similar to the author’s “‘ Little Rivers,” 
which has been variously styled by critics ‘‘ the Complete Angler of to-day,” ‘“‘that out-of-door 
classic,” ‘‘a book of the heart,” etc. Tne papers embody the reflections of a sympathetic student 
of nature and lover of man in his out-of-door rambles and fireside leisure. Some of the themes 
are ‘‘ Lovers and Landscape,” ‘‘ Fishing in Books,” and ‘‘ Who Owns the Mountains?” 
BOB: THE STORY OF OUR MOCKING BIRD 
By SIDNEY LANIER. With 16 full-page illustrations in colors from photographs by 
A. R. Dugmore. 12mo, $1.50. 
~A charming vein of humor and philosophy runs through Mr. Lanier’s affectionately intimate 
story of his pet mocking bird Bob, giving the book a literary quality of an altogether unusual kind 
and setting it in a niche of its own. The illustrations have been made with eat pains and skill 
from nature. They portray a mocking bird from his birth to the period of full growth. Repro- 
duced in colors from carefully made and painted photographs, they are as artistic as they are in 
pertect harmony with the author’s delightful narrative, numerous passages of which they illustrate.
