OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The Athenæum says:—"This is an amusing little book, written with much brightness and considerable literary skill."
The Standard, Dec. 24, 1884:—"It is written in an exceptionally bright and genial style ... his writings bespeak an intense love of Nature and a keen power of observation. A strong vein of quiet humour runs through the volume, mingled with thoughts sometimes serious, sometimes playful. Altogether it is one of the most pleasantly written little books which we have read for a long time."
The Daily News says:—"Herein is the charm of the book.... For an amateur, he certainly saturates you thoroughly with true Dove Dale flavour."
The Pall Mall Gazette:—"This is a pleasant book to read 'now that the fields are dank and ways are mire.'"
The World says:—"Not merely by brethren of the rod, but by all who appreciate Nature in her prettiest haunts it will be found pleasant reading."
The Illustrated News says:—"This charming bit of personal narrative ... will certainly be preserved on many a shelf where Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton hold the most honoured place."
The Graphic says:—"Written in a charming spirit, with plenty of quiet humour in it."
