Mr. Edward Arnold's List. 



THROUGH THE SUB-ARCTIC "EOmST— Continued, 



Mr. Pike is well known as an explorer, and in the journey now described 

 he traversed some completely unknown country round the Peily Lakes. For 

 many months he supported himself entirely by hunting and fishing, being 

 absolutely cut ofY from any chance of obtaining supplies. Such a journey 

 could not fail to be productive of many exciting episodes, and though the 

 author treats them lightly, the hardships he went through form a fine test of 

 the true explorer's spirit. 



The Sportsman's Library. 



Edited by Sir HERBERT MAXWELL, Bart., M.P. 



This series will consist of a selection from the best works of past writers 

 on sport, carefully chosen either on account of their literary merit, of the 

 light thrown by them on the habits and resources of a bygone age, or of their 

 permanent value as contributions to knowledge of the various subjects 

 dealt with. 



The volumes will be issued at the rate of two or three a year. They will 

 contain in every instance an introductory chapter by the Editor, and such 

 notes as may be necessary to explain or correct the author's statements. 



Illustrations in the original works, when of sufficient merit or interest, will 

 be reproduced in facsimile, supplemented with new ones by the modern 

 artists best qualified to deal with the various subjects. Among the artists 

 whose co-operation has already been secured are Messrs. G. E. Lodge, 

 J, G. Millais, A. Thorburn, C. Whymper, G. H. Jalland, A. C. Corbould, 

 P. Chdnevix Trench, etc. 



The size of the volumes will be a handsome 8vo., and special care will be 

 bestowed upon every detail of paper, print, and binding. The following will 

 be published this season : 



I 



THE LIFE OF A FOX. 



By THOMAS SMITH, 

 Master of the Hambledon and Pytchley Hounds. 



With Illustrations by the Author and Six Coloured Plates by 



G. H. Jalland. 



Large 8vo., handsomely bound, 15s. 



Also a limited Large-paper Edition, two guineas net. 



This volume will contain both of Smith's published works— * The Life of a 

 Fox' and 'The Diary of a Huntsman.' The author's reputation as a hunts- 

 man, as well as his gift of literary expression and his skill as a spirited 

 draughtsman, made these books exceedingly popular in their day, and they 

 have now become very rare.
