With numerous Illustrations from Photographs Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net PRESS OPINIONS Standard.—“This book, dealing with the courting of birds, how they fight and mimic, and moult and blush, is one of the most fascinating we have read for some time. His book will prove as interesting to the general reader as to the enthusiastic naturalist.” Morning Post.—“The book consists of a number of papers—all are delightfully readable. A very interesting and delightful book. The style is always clear and free from technicalities; this volume will certainly prove as entertaining to the general reader as it is interesting to the naturalist.” Globe.—“The pleasantest of reading—produced most charmingly. The book is illustrated with numbers of beautiful photographs showing bird and beast life with wonderful truth and charm. We must congratulate Mr. Finn and his publisher on one of the most alluring nature books we have seen for a long time.” Shooting Times.—“The volume is well illustrated, and is certainly a very amusing and highly instructive publication.” JUNGLE BY-WAYS IN INDIALeaves from the Note-book of a Sportsman and a Naturalist, with upwards of 100 illustrations by the Author and others.

By AGNES HERBERT. With numerous SOME PRESS OPINIONS. The Sportsman.—“A more delightful book—nay, so delightful a book—is not met with once in a generation. It is sui generis; we know of none that can pretend to compare with it. There is not a line in it that cannot be read with pleasure, while the whole volume contains such a record of interesting and thrilling adventure as one rarely meets with.” The Field.—“The story is told with great animation throughout, and with a sense of humour that carries one on attentively to the end. We shall be much mistaken if this very attractive volume on big game shooting is not soon in a second edition.” The AthenÆum.—“That most attractive book, ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland,’ which shows the author to be almost as skilful with her pen as with the rifle; and that is saying a great deal. The book is exceptionally interesting.” The County Gentleman.—“Miss Herbert’s light, breezy style in dealing with the humours of camp life is highly entertaining. We have never read a more piquantly written narrative of big game shooting.” Country Life.—“This sprightly and amusing book, full of wild life and adventure, of difficulties and dangers pluckily overcome is a welcome change after the innumerable recitals of ‘mere man’ in Africa.” The World.—“Miss Herbert wields her pen to good purpose. She has a keen sense of humour, she goes straight to the point, she scorns padding in purple patches, and yet so vivid is her style that she at once interests the reader in her subject. No man, and few women, will fail to follow her to the end of her adventures.” The Liverpool Post.—“It is a most chatty and vivacious account. The book can be enjoyed by all, sportsmen or not, and it will assuredly take an honoured place among its kind.” The Daily News.—“Certain to receive a friendly welcome from the general reader. A keen eye for the humorous side of things, a fluent and lively pen, and occasionally the display of a somewhat caustic wit, make the volume most amusing reading. We congratulate the authoress on the lively narrative. One can only hope that she will once again go a-hunting, and once again tell its story.” The Birmingham Post.—“This is a book to read, if only for its delightfully unconventional vein; and there is a subtle suggestion of romance about it too.” The Dundee Advertiser.—“The book in some respects is marvellous. It is the revelation of a sportswoman’s mind. Miss Herbert has a facile pen.” The Manchester Courier.—“Miss Herbert’s book is written light-heartedly. It is a delightfully humorous and witty record. It is also an assuming one.” The Daily Telegraph.—“This finely-printed and well-illustrated volume is a thoroughly entertaining and amusing record. Every sportsman will find this brisk and vivacious narrative to his taste.” The Daily Mail.—“‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ is a book out of the common run . . . very attractive reading.” The Scotsman.—“Certainly no one who reads this narrative will fail to be keenly interested and amused.” The Daily Chronicle.—“You need not be a sportsman—or a sportswoman—to enjoy this book, because it has a vivacity which would carry any reader along. It it written with the merry heart that goes all the day, and it has much to record besides lion killing.” The Evening Standard.—“We are sure that no such story was ever related with greater charm or incisiveness. The volume is very welcome.” TWO DIANAS IN ALASKABy AGNES HERBERT & a SHIKÁRI. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. SOME PRESS OPINIONS. The Sportsman.—“The warm and lengthy praise we gave to the companion volume ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ might be repeated. They should have a place in every sportsman’s library; nay, in far more, for the piquancy of the style, and the charming friendliness of it all, enthral the reader.” The Field.—“The story is told by Miss Herbert with all the free and joyous spirit which characterised her former volume; the same love of exploration, admiration for the beauty in nature, keenness for sport, and withal a womanly restraint and tender-heartedness.” Country Life.—“Miss Herbert’s hand has lost nothing of its sprightliness, she describes graphically and with never failing nerve many exciting hunts. It is to the full as daring and lively as the Somaliland volume.” Vanity Fair.—“The most fascinating sporting book I have read this year, and quite the best written. In a dozen ways I found the book captivating. Miss Herbert’s success is as emphatic in book-making as in hunting.” The Academy.—“We commend ‘Two Dianas in Alaska’ to many readers . . . an amusing and picturesque journey. Scenery is powerfully described, and so are the effects of light and shade and the flight of birds. But the ways of the moose provide the most attractive reading of all.” The Daily Telegraph.—“This is a delightful book, of equal interest to the sportsman and the general reader. Light and bright are the pages. We heartily recommend this book to all readers. It is all admirable.” Ladies’ Field.—“Not less delightful than ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland.’ If anyone turns aside from this book because he or she is indifferent to sport they will lose some very pleasant hours. It is a charming book, and has not a dull page in it from first to last.” Daily Graphic.—“The whole book is amazing good reading. The best book of sport and travel that we have seen this season.” Yorkshire Post.—“This is a book of high spirits, mixed with philosophy. In these prosaic days a romance from real life is not to be resisted.” The Queen.—“Very entertaining reading. It must not be thought that the work is entirely devoted to hunting, the scenery, places, and human beings are also described in very happy fashion.” The Morning Post.—“This delightful book. Lively is a poor name for it, it scintillates with life. We are soon carried away with the zest of it, and the irrepressible humour which bubbles out on every page.” The Manchester Courier.—“Those who had the good fortune to encounter the charming record of the ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ will want no recommendation to the equally sprightly description of their adventures in Alaska. Miss Herbert has a ready sense of humour, and her wayside jottings are inimitable.” Fortnightly Review.—“Miss Herbert has a happy knack of amusing the reader on almost every page of her bright narrative, and this alone places her above the majority of writers on travel. It is with her asides, her not unkindly satire, her unabated philosophy, that Miss Herbert attracts the reader.” Pall Mall Gazette.—“Miss Herbert has a pretty wit, word-pictures of magic beauty. The book is witty, picturesque, exciting, and the effect on the tired brain of a dweller in cities is that of a breeze bringing health from a salutary land.” A VAGABOND IN THE CAUCASUSWITH SOME NOTES OF HIS EXPERIENCES AMONG THE RUSSIANS By STEPHEN GRAHAM With Sixteen Illustrations and Two Maps PRESS OPINIONS Daily Telegraph.—“One of the most individual and interesting volumes of travel talk that we have had for many a long day. A work of quite exceptional charm and interest. An attraction that will make most readers look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the author’s future work.” Morning Post.—“It is a good book, full of suggestiveness, promise, and horizon.” Westminster Gazette.—“Mr. Graham’s literary touch has the delightful intimate comradeship of the born wanderer, and his book is all too short.” Daily News.—“A book of impressions and adventures with an unusually fine literary flavour.” Standard.—“. . . written with keen insight and literary skill . . . abounds with practical hints for prospective travellers.” Evening Standard.—“Mr. Graham has had adventures. He relates them well. His style is direct and racy. Everything is real . . . entertaining.” Truth.—“A perfectly delightful book.” Academy.—“Mr. Graham writes with the intimate personal touch that gives distinction to Stevenson’s ‘Travels with a Donkey’ and Belloc’s ‘Path to Rome.’” Observer.—“Mr. Graham’s experiences make an entertaining book.” Graphic.—“An attractive book.” Country Life.—“You follow his adventures with the same interest you would follow an engrossing novel, because you see the man and feel something of his passion.” Bookman.—“In every way this is a most charming and attractive book. Mr. Graham’s views are fresh and original.” Shooting Times.—“Distinctly entertaining.” KASHMIR: The Land of Streams and Solitudes. By P. Pirie.
