THE RECORD OF A SHOOTING TRIP.

By AGNES HERBERT. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. Price, 12s. 6d. net. Postage 6d. extra.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS.

The Sportsman.—“A more delightful book—nay, so delightful a book—is not met with once in a generation. It is sui generis; we know of none that can pretend to compare with it. There is not a line in it that cannot be read with pleasure, while the whole volume contains such a record of interesting and thrilling adventure as one rarely meets with.”

The Field.—“The story is told with great animation throughout, and with a sense of humour that carries one on attentively to the end. We shall be much mistaken if this very attractive volume on big game shooting is not soon in a second edition.”

The Athenæum.—“That most attractive book, ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland,’ which shows the author to be almost as skilful with her pen as with the rifle; and that is saying a great deal. The book is exceptionally interesting.”

The County Gentleman.—“Miss Herbert’s light, breezy style in dealing with the humours of camp life is highly entertaining. We have never read a more piquantly written narrative of big game shooting.”

Country Life.—“This sprightly and amusing book, full of wild life and adventure, of difficulties and dangers pluckily overcome is a welcome change after the innumerable recitals of ‘mere man’ in Africa.”

The World.—“Miss Herbert wields her pen to good purpose. She has a keen sense of humour, she goes straight to the point, she scorns padding in purple patches, and yet so vivid is her style that she at once interests the reader in her subject. No man, and few women, will fail to follow her to the end of her adventures.”

The Liverpool Post.—“It is a most chatty and vivacious account. The book can be enjoyed by all, sportsmen or not, and it will assuredly take an honoured place among its kind.”

The Daily News.—“Certain to receive a friendly welcome from the general reader. A keen eye for the humorous side of things, a fluent and lively pen, and occasionally the display of a somewhat caustic wit, make the volume most amusing reading. We congratulate the authoress on the lively narrative. One can only hope that she will once again go a-hunting, and once again tell its story.”

The Birmingham Post.—“This is a book to read, if only for its delightfully unconventional vein; and there is a subtle suggestion of romance about it too.”

The Dundee Advertiser.—“The book in some respects is marvellous. It is the revelation of a sportswoman’s mind. Miss Herbert has a facile pen.”

The Manchester Courier.—“Miss Herbert’s book is written light-heartedly. It is a delightfully humorous and witty record. It is also an assuming one.”

The Daily Telegraph.—“This finely-printed and well-illustrated volume is a thoroughly entertaining and amusing record. Every sportsman will find this brisk and vivacious narrative to his taste.”
