Aflalo, Frederick George. Sunshine and sport in Florida and the West Indies. **$4. Jacobs.
“This volume is divided into three parts, treating, respectively, of ‘The way there,’ ‘Tarpon-fishing and other sport,’ and, finally, ‘Home by the Spanish main.’ Although fishing was the pole star which held steady through the trip of eleven thousand miles, this Briton had eyes for many other things.”—Nation.
“Mr. Aflalo’s account of the natural history of the tarpon, in so far as it is known, is very thorough and fascinating, and were any further inducements required to persuade fishermen to go west for tarpon it would be found in the pages of this interesting book.”

“Had Mr. Aflalo gathered his impressions at greater leisure, and generalized less from trivial instances, he would have informed his volume with the more genial spirit which we associate with the men who go a-fishing. For we can find no fault with Mr. Aflalo’s story of his tarpon fishing.” H. E. Coblentz.

“His frank and generous comments reveal a fair-mindedness only too rare in travelers. The volume should appeal to a far wider circle of readers than the ‘English anglers’ for whom the author chiefly intends it.”
