NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 
Mr. Roosevelt writes with a sportsman’s enthusiasm 
and love of out-door life.— Journal, Boston. 
Many who are going into the country for recreation 
will enjoy just such a book as ihis.—Observer, New 
York. 
The world of sportsmen owe Mr. Roosevelt more than 
a passing tribute, and the generation of anglers in years 
to come, will bless his thoughtful providence.— Graphic, 
New York. 
It contains, we should judge, a complete compendium 
of the knowledge needed by the votaries of the rod and 
line for success in their favorite spoxt.—BooTiseller and 
Stationer, Chicago. 
Mr. Roosevelt is an enthusiast with the rod, as well as 
gun, and be writes well on the subject of sport. There 
w'ill be a lively demand for his book on fish.— 
Meld, and Farm. 
Mr. Roosevelt is an authority whom none dare ques¬ 
tion, and whatever he may say on his favorite subject, 
will be received with pleasure by all behrers of the rod 
and fiy.—2%e Globe, Boston. 
His work is of a practical nature, well illustrated, and 
the thorough student of it, if he caught no fish, would 
have the consolation of having deserved success, and 
could buy of those who were more fortunate.— The 
Churchman, New York. 
The preparation of this work has been to Mr. Roose¬ 
velt a labor of love, and the reader who follows him in 
his faithful pictures of the finny tribe, and in his graphic 
descriptions of his encounters with the powerful and 
gamey denizens of the streams, will have a lively appre¬ 
ciation of the author’s feelings, and share with him in his 
enthusiasm.—(%tcag '0 Joumal. 
Here we have the finny beauties of the brook, and 
river, and sea. The style of the work is attractive, and 
will interest the general reader almost equally with the 
amateur sportsman. The haunts and habits of the dif¬ 
ferent fishes, their food, and the best way of securing 
them, are amply treated in this handsome and entertain¬ 
ing volume.—Zion’s Berald, Boston. 
Mr. Roosevelt is one of the very few American writers 
on angling, who understand their subject, and know 
how to express their knowledge and opinions clearly 
and interestingly. The book in question has had two 
previous editions, in 1862 and 1865. The present one, 
Mr. Roosevelt states in his preface, contains “a great 
■deal of fresh matter,” and the information and directions 
have been brought down to the present time.— The 
Ftalion, New York. 
Though very few of us have as much time as Mr. 
Roosevelt on our hands, yet we can fully sympathize 
with him in his enthusiastic devotion to the healthful 
out-door life of the fisherman, and can read with a cer¬ 
tain degree of interest, what he has to say on the sal¬ 
mon and sea-trout fishing of Canada and New Bruns¬ 
wick. on fish culture, or tying artificial flies, and on all 
those little points that belong to the experienced 
Angler.—Daify Advertiser, Boston. 
A great merit of Mr. Roosevelt’s book is, that while it 
is instructive to the followers of the gentle art, it is most 
interesting to those who never tied a fly or cast a line. 
‘The style is free and familiar, but still elegant, and if 
we cannot enjoy the reality of a day with the author, by 
ihe waters of New Jersey, amid the beauties of the 
Thousand Islands, or in the breadth of the Saguenay, we 
can, at least, led by his vivid descriptions, follow him in 
idea, and participate vicariously in his sports.—iFeu; 
Fork Times.

Of great interest to sportsmen.— Gazette, Boston. 
The story of the cruise is fresh and fascinating, and 
the general reader as well as the sportsman will enjoy it. 
—Chicago Evening Journal. 
Besides its abundance of facts, the book has a genial 
but natural air, with a fine taste of out-door life about 
it, which adds not a little to its value. — The Times, Phila. 
Tells all that he knows about game water birds, and 
the most approved and successful methods of shooting 
them.—Bright and cheery reading.—J/aif and Express, 
New Y’ork. 
Sold at $2, which is a low price for a duodecimo of 
450 pages, unusually handsome and well made. It is a 
long time since any kind of a sporting book has appear¬ 
ed that seemed to possess so much real value. — Cultiva¬ 
tor and Country Gentleman, Albany, N. Y. 
A full account of the sporting along our shores and 
inland waters is given in such a captivating manner, 
that the reader almost imagines himself one of the 
happy party that made up the excursion.— The Signal, 
Babylon, L. I. 
A book of pleasant descriptions of sporting experi¬ 
ences, full of interest and instructiveness in their way, 
with many particulars in regard to birds of different 
sorts, their habits, and the way to shoot them. — Con- 
gregatwnaXist, Boston. 
Written in a familiar and attractive style, and will not 
only interest the “mighty hunters,” but our many 
amateur sportsmen, who find in the gun and reel the 
best active recreation for the summer vacation. — Zion's 
Herald, Boston. 
The contents of the volume fully justify its compre¬ 
hensive title, while tiie Publishers, Orange Judd Com¬ 
pany, have done their share of the work well, thus mak¬ 
ing the book attractive as well as instructive. — The 
Spirit of the Times, New York. 
Characteristics and habits of game water-birds are 
given in detail. Game protection is discussed. Guns 
and rods are treated of at length, and the handling of 
these is described as carefully as the art critic w’ould 
exhibit the technique of a work of difiicnlt execution.— 
Boston Daily Advertiser. 
To the account of the Florida trip has been added a 
revision of a former book on the Game Water-birds of 
the Atlantic Coast and the Lakes, and those who have 
long sought in vain for a copy of the first edition, will 
welcome this reprint. In the several chapters Mr. 
Roosevelt has stored up a rich fund of gunner’s wis¬ 
dom, and we can heartily commend the work to the 
novice, who wiU find here more than he will probably 
ever learn by experience.— Forest and.Stream. 
The Florida excursion, of which Mr. Roosevelt gives 
a lively and interesting history, was undertaken with 
an eye to sport, and exhibits the practical application of 
a great deal of the technical knowledge set forth in 
part second. Mr. Roosevelt and a congenial party, in¬ 
cluding ladies, made a winter trip to Florida in a small 
yacht, or sharpie, drawing one or two feet of water, and 
spent a delightful season, hunting, fishing, and explor¬ 
ing in waters, of which the ordinary tourist knows 
nothing whatever. The descriptions are clear without 
prolixity, the sporting episodes show the same touch of 
an expert, the narrative is easy and vivacious, and the 
whole record is permeated which good humor.—Aiiw 
York Tribune.

NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 
“ Superior Fishing ” comes just in time to give sug¬ 
gestions for summer sport to all lovers of the hook and 
line.It is unnecessary to say that any work on this 
subject from the hand of Mr. Roosevelt is founded in 
the most thorough knowledge and appreciation of all 
that pertains to the Commercial Advertiser, New 
Y'oi'k. 
The author gives the reader the results of his sporting 
visit to Lake Superior, Point Judith, and other places, 
where he plied his exceptional skill as an angler among 
the striped bass, trout, black bass, and blue fish, of those 
waters. A large portion of the book is taken up with di¬ 
rections for fly-making, and with useful points on fly¬ 
fishing, and on cookery for sportsmen. It is rare to find 
a sportsman so intensely enthusiastic in print as Mr. 
Roosevelt. — Daity Advertiser, Boston. 
Mr. Roosevelt has fished in many waters, and he de¬ 
votes himself here to Superior Fishing (meaning the 
fishing on Lake Superior), to which he has added the 
kindred excitement that one finds off Point Judith. 
What every good fisherman knows about striped bass, 
trout, black bass, and bluefish, he knows—and more too, 
as the Celtic saying is—and makes his readers know also, 
and they have but to follow his direction to become su¬ 
perior fishermen — Mail and Express, New York.
