:" A . moderate shot, but the best of companions for

any, kin; cl of day's shooting," This is what Mr. Eric Parker says. of-'a sportsman friend, in Field, River, and Hill. We would say- of _his book that it may or may not come straight home' to the sedentary reader, but the sportsman of any kind will find it eminently companionable, a book which will smell sweet in his nostrils, even in the midst of hard work and London fog. Eight reproductions of dry-points by Winifred Austin grace the volume. (Philip Allan. 10s. 6d.)
