The gifts of Mr. Will H. Ogilvie and Mr. Lionel

Edwards run well together. Mr. Ogilvie can tell a hunting story in verse with rapidity and charm, and he can give a good, sparkling picture of the English countryside. Mr. Edwards' illustra- tions are softer and lower in tone than Mr. Ogilvie's verses : they are complimentary to them. The one is more bracing, the other more contemplative. Their last collaboration is in A Handful of Leather (Constable, 14s.). Those who have enjoyed their previous volumes will find the new one just as

delightful.
