literature, and upon the
poets in ob-

scurity.' Mr. Buchanan's volume is full of

MOUNTAIN, MEADOW, AND MERE; a Series of Outdoor Sketches of Sport, Scenery, Adventures, and Natural History. By G. Christopher Davies. With 16 Illustrations by W. HARCOURT. Crown 8vo, price 6s.

"If the book has none of the dramatic grandeur of the epic, where the hunter's life is staked on the steadiness of his nerves, on the other hand it is pervaded throughout by the graceful melody of a natural idyl, and the details of sport are subordinated to a dominating sense of the beautiful and picturesque. The great charm of a book of this kind lies in its reviving so many of the brighter associations of one's early existence."-Saturday Review.

Mr. Davies writes pleasantly, graphically, and with the pen of a lover of nature, a naturalist, and a sportsman."-Field.

"Will be read both for its charming little passages descriptive of English scenery, and as the production of an enthusiastic worshipper of home sport."— Examiner.

"This study, according to her just notions on the subject, is to be fundamentally based on the exercise of the pupil's own powers of observation. He is to see and

examine the properties of plants and flowers at first hand, not merely to be informed of what others have seen and examined."Pall Mall Gazette.
