Letters from a Lowland Keeper. With Additions and Notes by

H. J. Tennant. (Glasgow : MaoLehose. 5s. net.)—Mr. Tennant's attractive little book cerntaine extracts from letters about shooting from his Berwickshire gamekeeper, Thomas Walker, with some personal reminiscences of their long connexion. Walker " was to my mind facile princeps," says Mr. Tennant ; " he had not only acute powers of observation and the faculty of their habitual use, but he had a real eye for country as well as a fine standard of duty." Mr. Torment's anecdotes and Walker's shrewd letters— especially a piece of advioe to a young keeper—confirm the judgment.
