Sportsman's Gazetteer —Geo. Bird Grinnell, of 

 the Peaboiy Academy of Science, New Haven, 

 writes : " I have to thank you f< r a copy of the 

 Sportsman's Gazetteer received d y before yester- 

 day. I have delayed acknowledging it, in order that 

 I might be able to speak intelligently of its merits. 

 I have looked it over somewhat carefully, and I must 

 say that I am delighted with it. It seems to be just 

 the book that we have so long wanted In this coun- 

 try—an American "Stmehenge" in fact. On the 

 fishes yon have surpassed yourself, and I am aston 

 ished at the amount of material you have collected, 

 and the happy method in which you have treated 

 the group. The Dog ar>d Diseases of the Dog are ad- 

 mirably written, and will prove one of the most use- 

 ful of manuals for sportsmen. The Art of Fiy Pish- 

 ing, and ihe hints and recipes are all that could be 

 desired; in fact the book seems to be a com lete 

 success. • I do not see how it can fall to ave a very 

 large sale." 



The Sportsman's Gazetteer.— The Gazette 

 duly came to hand, and to say that I am delighte 

 with the book only faintly expresses my apprecia- 

 tion of it. How you have been able to gather so 

 much valuable matter together is almost a mvstery 

 tome. It certainly speaks well for your industry 

 and knowledge of the subjects discussed. For the 

 size and valuable information contained, the price, I 

 think, is r.matkably lo v, and I wou'd not be with- 

 out it for double the price. Every sportsman and 

 everybody interested in spirting matters should 

 have a copy, and I s\all take great pleasure in re- 

 commending it to mv army friends. 



H. C. Yarrow, M. D„ U. 8. A. 



The Gazetteer.— The Sportsman's Gazetteer was 

 duly received, and mvsoif and many . f our best 

 judges in sporting literature have cr.ticaly exam- 

 ined the book, and all uuite in pronouncing it the 

 most valuable work ever issued from the press on 

 kindred subjects. It is a wonder to all how so much 

 valuable information could be so intelligently crowd- 

 ed into a book of its size. The task must have been 

 very grea', but has been accomplished in a remarka- 

 bly concise, intelligent and pleasing manner. Every 

 page demonstrates the fact that the author was a 

 maser of his subject. No sp Ttsman or tourist can 

 afford to be without the book, and it ought to be, anel 

 no doubt will be, read generally by the masses, and 

 Certainly by all interested in the study of natu al 

 history. Dr. D. C. Estes.
