Gun, Rod, and Saddle. By Parker Gillmore. (W. H. Allen
and Co.)—Mr. Gillmore, better known, perhaps, under his nom de plume of " Ubique," gives us here another volume of his always spirited and welcome sketches of sport. What a curious mixture his very wide experience enables him to make ! This particular book has much to do with things American, though the author now and then takes us for a change, as, for example, to shoot in China or
South Africa, while he gives us a hint of "Salmon in Japan." He was unable to try for them himself, but he suggests the idea as a possibility. This is a book which any one may read, and from which some may learn.—There are some oharming sketches of angling, regarded from the literary rather than the sporting point of view, in Days in Clover, by the " Amateur Angler" (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.), and not a few other pleasant things besides. We have been long in noticing this little book, but our tardiness brings our comment to the right season for com- mending to our readers a genuine " holiday " volume.
