RURAL ENGLAND.
'_Books unsurpassed in power of observation and sympathy with natural
objects by anything that has appeared since the days of Gilbert
White._'--DAILY NEWS.
Works by the late Richard Jefferies.
THE GAMEKEEPER AT HOME; or, Sketches of Natural History and Rural
Life. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
'Delightful sketches. The lover of the country can hardly fail to be
fascinated wherever he may happen to open the pages. It is a book to
read and keep for reference, and should be on the shelves of every
country gentleman's library.'--SATURDAY REVIEW.
ROUND ABOUT A GREAT ESTATE. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
'To read a book of his is really like taking a trip into some remote
part of the country where the surroundings of life remain very much
what they were thirty or forty years ago. Mr. Jefferies has made up a
very pleasant volume.'--GLOBE.
WILD LIFE IN A SOUTHERN COUNTY. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
'A volume which is worthy of a place beside White's "Selborne." In
closeness of observation, in power of giving a picture far beyond the
power of a mere word-painter, he is the equal of the Selborne
rector--perhaps his superior.'--ATHENÆUM.
THE AMATEUR POACHER. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
'We have rarely met with a book in which so much that is entertaining
is combined with matter of real practical worth.'--GRAPHIC.

'Full of the spirit of the South Country, and as we read it we seem
to hear again the clack of the millwheel, the cry of the waterfowl,
and the splash of fish.'--SPECTATOR.
ALL THE YEAR WITH NATURE. By P. ANDERSON GRAHAM. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
'Of the 28 papers composing the volume there is not one which does
not brim over with love of Nature, observation of her by-paths, and
power of sympathetic expression.'--OBSERVER.
