IPfDORSKMENTS. 



Sportsman's Gazstteek —Geo. Bird Grinnell, of 

 the Peaboiy Academy of Science, New Haven, 

 ■writes: "I have to thank you for a copy of the 

 Sportsman's Gazetteer received d-iybefote yester- 

 day. I have delayed acknowledging it, in order thai 

 I might be able to speak intelligently of its merits. 

 I have looked it over somewhat carefu.ly, and I must 

 say that I am delighted with it. It seems to be ]u*t 

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

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

 fishes yon have surpassed yourself, and I am aston- 

 ished at the amount of material yon have collected, 

 and the happy method in which you have treated 

 the group. The Dog and Diseai es of the Dog are ad- 

 mirably written, and wli. prove one of the nios> use- 

 ful of manuals for sportsmen. The Art of Ply- Fish- 

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

 desired; in fact the book seems to be a com, lets 

 success. I do not see ho* it can fail to 1-ave a very 

 large Bale." 



The Sportsman's Gazetteer. — The Gaz ette 

 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 myst ry 

 tome. It certainly speaks well for your industry 

 and knowledge of the tubjects discussed. For the 

 Biae and valuable information contained, the price, I 

 think, isr niaikat.ly low, and I would not be with- 

 out it for double the price. Every sportsman aud 

 everybody interested in sporting matters should 

 have a copy, and I s'la'.l take great pleasure in re- 

 eommendmg it to my army friends. 



H. C. Yarrow, M. D., V. S, A. 



The Gazetteer.— The Sportsman's Gazetteer was 

 duly received, and myself and many ui our best 

 judges in sporting literature have en tioa ly exam- 

 ined the book, and all unite in pronouncing it the 

 most valuable work ever issued from 1 tie 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 great, i JU( , na8 rjeeu accomplished in a remarka- 

 bly concise, Inl elligent and pleasing manner. Every 

 page demonstrates the fact that the author was a 

 master of his subject. No sp rtsinan or tourist can 

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

 no doubt will be, read generally by the masses and 

 certainly by all interested in the study of natn al 

 hLtoiy. Dr. D. C. Estls.
