Golf
_The Observer_ says:--"We marvel at the snapshots that have been
taken of birds. Every movement of their flight is now recorded; the
taking off, the alighting, the swooping, the settling, the
'planing,' the struggling against the wind. And they are just the
birds which the ordinary man wants to know about, because he has
such opportunities of seeing them for himself on any walk along the
cliff."
THE PEREGRINE FALCON AT THE EYRIE
By FRANCIS HEATHERLEY, F.R.C.S.
Illustrated with wonderful photographs by the AUTHOR and C.J. KING.
_Demy quarto, cloth, gilt, 6s. 3d. net; by inland post, 6s. 9d._
This fascinating book on the Peregrine Falcon--the grandest bird of prey
left in England--combines the salient facts of almost innumerable field
notes _written at the eyrie itself_. It is a book that should appeal
with irresistible force to all true nature lovers. Many striking and
unexpected facts were revealed to the author as a result of unwearying
patience in a diminutive hut slung from the precipice of a lonely islet.
These records are now set forth in a wonderful narrative which discloses
the life history of the Peregrine Falcon from the moment of its hatching
to the day it finally leaves the eyrie.
_The Times_ says:--"We commend this faithful and truly scientific
inquiry to all lovers of animals and to those who are in quest of a
real knowledge of nature."
Pastime with Good Company
Pictured by G.D. ARMOUR With an Introduction by HORACE G. HUTCHINSON
_Royal quarto, tastefully bound, gilt, 18s. 9d. net; by inland post,
19s. 6d._
CONTAINING OVER FIFTY CHOICE PLATES, THOROUGHLY TYPICAL OF MR. ARMOUR'S
ART
This volume is sure of a warm welcome from every Sportsman and
Sportswoman of to-day. In the beautiful picture gallery disclosed
through its pages, Mr. Armour presents a wonderfully representative
collection of his art. Whether it is the field in "full cry," the grouse
coming over the heather, the polo player dashing towards the goal, or
the otter hound surging through the rapids, all are portrayed with
individuality and fidelity, by means which have the appealing merit of
simplicity and directness. The plates are perfect specimens of pictorial
art. Each one deserves, and, indeed, demands, a frame.
"A book for every sportsman's library."--_Liverpool Courier._
Fishing
Edited by HORACE G. HUTCHINSON
_In 2 volumes, each 15s. 8d. net; by post, 16s. 6d._
_The Fishing Gazette_ says:--"I know pretty well every book in our
language, and in French and German, on the subject of fishing, but I
know no work which is so good, comprehensive and cheap as this.
Would be worth buying if it were merely for the illustrations."
