SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
“ Mr. Knight has the art of inspiring in his readers 
a vivid sympathy and interest .” — The Daily News. 
“ There is a vein of genuine poetry in Mr. Knight, 
and in his wanderings ‘By Moorland and Sea’ it 
finds, graceful expression. Each little delicate pic- 
ture is firmly drawn, and has in it just the requisite 
amount of local colour. The breath of the country is 
in these sketche.s, and that fact in part explains their 
>pell, and the re>t of the secret stands revealed in the 
iTilliant descriptive gift of the writer .” — The Speaker. 
“Mr. Knight has a happy faculty of seizing the 
picturesque features of the scenes he describes.” -The 
Times. ' 
“This work is so fresh, so breezy, so realistic, that 
wc can almost imagine we are inhaling the pure moor- I 
land air and drinking in the beauty of the scenery \ 
which he so graphically describes. The drawings , 
also which beautify the pages are equal to the literary 
merits of the book .” — Ptddic Opinion. < 
“ Every lover of nature will welcome Mr. Knight’.s 
book. It is a delightful volum.e. The author excels j 
himself in his Somersetshire sketche'* : there is an in- | 
finite charm and a musical rhythm about his writing 
which cannot fail to please.” — 9 /«r. 
“ A delightful volume. Mr. Knight possesses the 
rare gift of describing the beauties of Nature in 
language at once artistic and sympathetic. His 
sketches show a genuine love and knowledge of 
Nature's trifles as well as of her grander displays, 
and many little details which would e.scape a less 
close observer serve to make his pictures harmonious 
and complete .” — Morning Post. 
“ We are everywhere impressed by the wealth of 
thought and observation possessed by the author ; in 
fact, one finds here much of that rare spirit which 
sprang to life in the writings of the late Richard 
Tefiferies.” — Naturalists' Journal. 
“A perfectly fascinating volume to the lover of 
nature. It is admirably adapted for the drawing 
room table, and we promise the reader a rich treat." 
— The Record. 
“ We know of no living writer who is equal to Mr. 
Knight in this particular department of a delicate, 
difficult and fascinating art. ‘Sounds of the Night' 
is a perfect gem, and might be quoted anywhere as a 
model of style .” — Bristol Mercttry. 
“ The mantle of the late Richard Jefferies has fallen 
upon Mr. Knight, and he wears it worthily. An 
artist’s eye, rare skill of hand, and gift of style go to 
make up a most delightful volume .” — Cambridge In- 
dependent.
