RECENT WORKS ON YACHTING.
1 vol., crown 8vo., with Illustrations, 7s. 6d.
THE “FALCON” ON THE BALTIC:
A Coasting Voyage from Hammersmith to Copenhagen in a Three-Ton Yacht.
By E. F. Knight, Author of “The Cruise of the Falcon.
The Saturday Review says:—“‘The Falcon on the Baltic’ will be warmly welcomed by all the readers of Mr. Knight’s delightful ‘Cruise of the Falcon.’ ... The unconscious humour of the ‘Yankified Dane’s’ conversation is really the most amusing thing we have read for a long while.”
The Morning Post says:—“Mr. Knight’s new volume is calculated to arouse an interest in many readers. Yachtsmen particularly will appreciate his account of his adventures, and some may be tempted, if not to emulate his wanderings, at least to profit by the information he has amassed in the course of his trip, and which he gives in a bright and informal manner.”
SKETCHES OF A YACHTING CRUISE. By Major E. Gambier-Parry, Author of “Life of Reynell Taylor.” 1 vol. Demy 8vo. Twenty-six Illustrations. 10s. 6d.
The Saturday Review says:—“Major Gambier-Parry not only describes graphically what he sees with his outward eye, but in his inward vision he sees, and makes us see,
‘The light that never was on sea or land,
The consecration and the poet’s dream.’”
The Manchester Guardian says:—“The pencil sketches accompanying the letter-press are many of them of great artistic excellence, and in particular we can commend the exquisite aerial effects of the Bay of Algiers and of Etna.”
TO GIBRALTAR AND BACK IN AN EIGHTEEN-TONNER. By One of the Crew. With Chart Illustrations from Sketches by Barlow Moore, and Photographs. Crown 8vo., 6s.
“This book is one for all yachtsmen to read.”—Vanity Fair.
“He has, however, produced a delightfully interesting book, and one that all lovers of yachting may read both with profit and pleasure.”—Graphic.
NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION.
SHOOTING AND YACHTING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. With some Practical Hints to Yachtsmen. By Captain A. G. Bagot (“Bagatelle”). Crown 8vo., paper boards, 1s.
“Mr. Bagot has written a capital little book, which every gunner and yachtsman, if not every sportsman, should read. The reader, even if he has never seen the sea, becomes an enthusiastic sailor before he has read a couple of chapters, and he is then taken in the most entertaining manner nearly all round the Mediterranean.”—Land and Water.
