WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
SOMALILAND.
Royal 8vo., cloth extra, gilt top, 18s. net.
A thrilling story of sport and adventure met with in the course of two expeditions into the interior of the country. Profusely illustrated from photographs by the author and with original full-page drawings by that great portrayer of wild animal life, Edmund Caldwell.
This standard work on Somaliland, which has taken upwards of four years to compile, concludes with descriptive lists of every animal and bird known to inhabit the country. The book contains an original map, drawn by the author, showing the heart of the Marehan and Haweea countries previously untrodden by white man’s foot.
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.—‘Readers will find this a capital book of sport and travel, in which the life of the hunter in Africa is depicted in graphic and straightforward fashion. Mr. Caldwell’s illustrations are excellent.’
Spectator.—‘Mr. Peel’s two hunting trips in “Somaliland” will make many a man’s mouth water, though the trying experiences of the desert journey will as probably parch their throats in anticipation.’
Saturday Review.—‘This is a pleasant book of sport, natural history, and adventure, rendered additionally interesting by an excellent list of the fauna of the country.’
WILD SPORT IN THE OUTER HEBRIDES.
Demy 8vo., cloth gilt, gilt top, 7s. 6d. net.
The experiences of a sportsman who has made a close study of the habits of all the animals and birds which are to be found in the Outer Hebrides. The illustrations consist of a photogravure frontispiece from an original drawing by Mr. G. E. Lodge, and reproductions of numerous photographs taken by the Author. In an Appendix is given a list of all the animals and birds which have been actually observed by the Author in these islands.
Daily News.—‘A breezy, sportsmanlike book, well illustrated.’
Dundee Advertiser.—‘His book gives a clear insight to the country and the sport it provides. He writes in a graphic, straightforward style, and his experiences leave the reader impressed that he has read the truth and nothing but the truth. The illustrations are very fine.’
Glasgow Herald.—‘Will be found exceedingly useful both by the sportsman and the naturalist who may visit the Western Isles.’
Scotsman.—‘A book which every lover of sport will peruse with interest and profit.’
Times.—‘An exciting book.’
Pall Mall Gazette.—‘Snap-shooting with the camera is Mr. Peel’s last word. He finds it so attractive that he threatens to discard his gun altogether. We hope he will neither discard his gun nor his pen. He has the right way with both.’
