WEBSTER. With Portrait of the Author, Four Coloured Plates, and other Illustrations. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

A NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION.

NORFOLK BROADS AND RIVERS; or, The Waterways, LAGOONS, AND DECOYS OF EAST ANGLIA. By G. CHRISTOPHER DAVIES, Author of "The Swan and her Crew.' Illustrated with Seven Full-page Plates. Crown 8vo, 6s.

"Mr Davies's book gives an admirable idea of a district which is extremely accessible although comparatively little known.......After perusing Mr Davies's sketches of life upon the Broads, we daresay many people may be tempted to follow his example."-Times.

"A charming description of the inland seas of Norfolk and their inhabitants, human and other. The author describes his yachting adventures with such piquancy and verve, that we find ourselves mentally resolving to devote our next autumn holidays to sailing the Broads instead of climbing the Alps."-Westminster Review.

It is doubtless the handsomest as well as the most interesting of all descriptions of the Broads, and will preserve the memory of a paradise for naturalists and sportsmen."-Land and Water.

SCOTCH LOCH-FISHING. By "Black Palmer." Crown

8vo. Interleaved with blank paper. 4s.

"The great charm of 'Black Palmer's' work is its simplicity. He eschews technicalities, and is thoroughly practical. And the angler who takes up the little book will be reluctant to stop till he has perused every word of it, and will only lay it down after mentally resolving to read it again from beginning to end at the earliest opportunity..... .'Black Palmer's' notes abound in practical

hints."-Dundee Advertiser.

"Both to the tyro and the expert angler 'Scotch Loch-Fishing' should prove a valuable guide.” -Bell's Life in London.

RAMBLES WITH A FISHING-ROD. By E. S. Roscoe.

Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

"A very delightful book."-Scotsman.

"Such books as Mr Roscoe's are our only guides to Continental sport; nor could the traveller who desires to explore the resources of the rivers of Germany and of Switzerland desire a better companion than Rambles with a Fishing-Rod.""-St James's Gazette.

"A right pleasant pocket companion."-Bell's Life in London.

SPORT IN THE HIGHLANDS AND LOWLANDS OF SCOTLAND WITH ROD AND GUN. By T. SPEEDY. 8vo, with Illustrations,

15s.

"We repeat that we can recommend this volume, with its varied contents, as an admirable handbook to Scottish wild sports."-The Times.

"Not only freshmen but experienced sportsmen will find valuable hints in these pages."-Pall Mall Gazette. "The author treats of all kinds of sport to be obtained with rod and gun, in a manner to be of great use to the uninitiated........ Mr Speedy writes with a thorough knowledge of his subject, and the book throughout is eminently practical."-Land and Water.

SIXTH EDITION, ENLARGED.

THE MOOR AND THE LOCH. Containing Minute In

"CRAG AND

STRUCTIONS IN ALL HIGHLAND SPORTS, WITH WANDERINGS OVER CORRIE, FLOOD AND FELL;" AND RECOLLECTIONS OF THE AUTHOR'S EARLY LIFE. By JOHN COLQUHOUN. 2 vols. post 8vo, with Portraits. 26s. "In the present delightful volumes, however, he presents all lovers of Scotland with the completest details of every Highland sport, on all of which he is an unexceptionable authority; and with what many will value even more, a series of life-like sketches of the rarer and more interesting animals of the country.............. Is simply indispensable in every Scotch shooting-lodge."—Academy.

A HANDBOOK OF DEER-STALKING.

By Alexander

MACRAE, late Forester to Lord Henry Bentinck. WITH INTRODUCTION BY HORATIO ROSs, Esq. Fcap. 8vo, with Two Photos. from Life. 3s. 6d.

"The writer of this valuable little book speaks with authority, and sums up in a few pages hints on deer-stalking, which the experience of a lifetime has enabled him to put forth.......We can only recommend every one who pursues the fascinating sport of which the author writes, to glance through, and indeed to read carefully, this handbook."-Sporting and Dramatic News.
