_This is the last series of drawings which will be made

MALL GAZETTE _says_: "_The fierce, untamable side
of brute nature has never received a more robust and
vigorous interpretation, and the various incidents in which
particular character is shown are set forth with rare
dramatic power. For excellence that will endure, we incline
to place this very near the top of the list of Christmas
books._" _And the_ ART JOURNAL _observes_,
"_Rarely, if ever, have we seen animal life more forcibly
and beautifully depicted than in this really splendid
volume._"
