Sportsman's Gazetteer —Geo. Bird Grinnel!, of 

 the Peabody Academy of Science, New Haven, 

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

 Sportsman's Gazetteer received day before 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 carefully, and 1 must 

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

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

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

 fishes you have snrpassed yourself, and I am aston- 

 ished at the amount of material vou have collected, 

 and the happy method in which you have treated 

 the group. The Dog and Diseases of the Dog are ad- 

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

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

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

 desired; in fact the book seems to be a complete 

 success. I do not see how it can fail to have a very 

 large sale." * 



The Sportsman's Gazetteer.— The Gazette 

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

 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 mystery 

 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 inarkuMy lo ", and I would not be with- 

 out It for double the price. Every sportsman and 

 everybody interested in sporting matters should 

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

 commending it to my army friends. 



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



The Gazf.tteer.— The S, ortsman's Gazetteer was 

 duly received, and mys-lf and many of our best 

 judges in sportiug lit -rat ur ; have eritioa'ly exam- 

 ined the book, and all u.ite 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 great, but has been accomplished in a remarka- 

 bly concise, intelligent and pleasing manner. Every 

 page demonstrates the fact that the author was a 

 master of his subject. No sp irtsmaa 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 bv all interested in the study of natural 

 jii-torv. ' Dr. D. C. Estes.
