Those of us who love sport and Nature are well
catered for nowadays : journals are published for our delectation ; the Keartons and all their attendant school photograph for its ; a great newspaper is given up wholly to our delight ; men like J. G. Millais, distinguished alike for their charm of writing, their work in the field and artistry of drawing, produce sumptuous books for us ; and now here are Mr. Lionel Edwards and Mr. H. F. Wallace in Hunting and Stalking the Deer (Longman, 63s.) giving us all their skill of pencil and their lifelong knowledge of the deer. The follower of stag-hounds on Exmoor and elsewhere, the stalker of the " muclde hart " (who will find here, every kind of experience that will be useful to him), and he who has watched the delicate grace and loveliness of that fairy of the woods, the roe, should never be satisfied till this book is added to their libraries.
