Richard J efferies — Bibliographical Addenda. 



" In live chapters the author deals with his subject as man, naturalist, 

 poet-naturalist, thinker, and writer .... with a bibliographical 

 appendix .... Mr. Salt holds a very high opinion of Jefferies' 

 powek* and value as a writer .... but he grounds that opinion not 

 on the excellence of those studies of wild and rural life by which he is so 

 widely known, but on his later mystical writings, and more especially on 

 his 'autobiography' — The Story of My Heart." — Notice in Wilts 

 Archceological Magazine, June, 1894, vol. xxvii., No. lxxxi., p. 319. 



An eminently readable and sympathetic study, containing much that is 

 of high critical value, though the opinions advanced are at times hardly in 

 accord with our Wiltshire estimates of the man and his work. It should 

 be valued by all lovers of Jefferies. The illustrations in the large paper 

 edition are excellent in themselves, and most successfully reproduced by 

 some process akin to photogravure. 



Noticed in some forty or fifty papers, London, Provincial, and American, 

 the tone taken by the reviewer being in most cases determined by his 

 personal opinion as to the relative merits of The Gamekeeper at Home 

 and The Story of My Heart.
