Favorite Flies and their Histories. 
By MARY ORVIS HARBURY. 
Mrs. Marbury is thoroughly enthusiastic over her subject, and after an introductory essay 
on "Insects, Natural and Artificial,'' etc., she gives the history of the various favorite flies, ac- 
companied by letters from anglers relating to their use. Two or three years were spent in col- 
lecting information in this way. The kind interest shown by fellow-fishermen in cordial replies 
giving their knowledge and opinions was both surprising and delightful, and awakened warmest 
gratitude. These letters are records of actual experiences, and conclusions deduced from the 
same; and they cannot fail to be of great assistance to any one who may wish suggestions regard- 
ing new waters. The colored plates depict 17 hackles, 18 salmon flies, 48 lake flies, 185 trout 
flies and 58 bass flies, the comprehensive character of the collection, and the value of the detailed 
comments on each of its 291 flies, will be more apparent. . . "It is destined to remain foi 
generations to come, " says Forest 1 and Stream , "a prominent landmark in angling literature. The 
fly-fisherman Of to-day who does not possess it lives below his privileges." 
Square octavo, 522 pages, 32 colored plates, 6 engravings and 8 reproductions of

Rowland E. Robinson's Danvis Books. 
CHRONICLES OF SPORTSMEN AND OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. 
Uncle Lisha's Shop. 
LIFE IN A CORNER OF YANKEELAND. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha Peggs, 
bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman's exchange, 
where, as one cf the fraternity expressed it, the hunters and 
fishermen of the widely scattered neighborhood used to 
meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, "to swap lies." 
The talk naturally ran much on hunting stories and wood 
lore, but although the stories told were generally good, 
their truthfulness was not always accepted without ques- 
tion, and the volume abounds as much in dialogue as in 
narrative. "Uncle Lisha's Shop" is brimful of quaint 
humor and sentiment, and there is an unmistakable touch 
of human nature in Uncle Lisha himself, and his good old 
wife, Aunt Jerushy; in Sam Lovel, the hunter, and in fact 
n all the other characters introduced. 
Sam Lovel's Camps. 
UNCLE LISHA'S FRIENDS UNDER BARK AND CANVAS. 
When Uncle Lisha went West, Sam Lovel took Antoine 
as his partner, and the fortunes and misfortunes of the two 
as trappers are described with all the charm of our author's 
quaint style, while their friends and enemies, and all with 
whom they are brought into contact, in the course «rf the 
story, step on to the stage real living flesh and blood crea- 
tures drawn with such fidelity to life that the rep.ier never 
doubts that he would recognize any one of them from the 
description, should it ever be bis good or ill fortune to run 
against him. 
Danvis Folks. 
A SEQUEL TO THE SHOP AND THE CAMPS. 
This volume is a collection into book form of the "Danvis 
Folks" chapters published in Forest and Stream. It 
relates the further fortunes of Uncle Lisha, Sam Lovel, 
Granther Hill and other personages of the story whom we 
know so well. Mr. Robinson avers that his characters were 
of the old times and have passed away. That surely is a 
mistake. They are living to-day here in these three books, 
and the Vermont author has endowed them with qualities 
which will give them long life to come. If you already 
have on your shelves the Shop and the Camps, you have a 
place there for this third volume. 
Sent postpaid, the Shop and the Camps, $1.00 each, the Danvis Folks, $1.25.
