Settling Day by Nat Gould (reading eggs books .txt) 📕

'Mr Everitt has made many a good shot in his book, which mixes the useful with the agreeable. Mr Everitt is a safe guide. He knows his subject uncommonly well.'—The Athenæum.

'An instructive and, at the same time, an amusing little manual on this interesting subject, a good deal of it being given dramatically in the form of a dialogue between solicitor and client.'—The Standard.

'"Shots from a Lawyer's Gun" is one of those books which no country house should be without.'—The Sporting Times or 'Pink 'un.'

'We commend the book to all sportsmen and farmers, and do so because it is packed with information, and at the same time as readable as any novel.'—The Leeds Mercury.

'In reading this volume you can gain knowledge and have a jolly good laugh at the same time. There is not a dry sentence in the entire book. Sportsmen should read it, gamekeepers should read it, and so should tenant farmers and even poachers.'—The Shooting Times.

Cookery Book

A Practical Cookery Book containing over 1000 recipes
DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE COUNTESS OF HOPETOUN

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3s. 6d.

PRESS OPINIONS

'The book deals largely with different ways of cooking meats, poultry, fish, game, and the making of different soups, jellies, and sweets generally. A considerable part is devoted to the making of beverages, starting with "How to make Tea," and right through, including punches, claret, and champagne cup, and ending with the homely and refreshing beverage, ginger beer. Under the heading of "Useful Hints," there are receipts for almost every imaginable household matter, from the polishing of furniture down to the cleaning of white straw hats. There are also a host of toilet remedies, which all ladies should carefully read.'—Australasian.

'Up-to-dateness, variety, and a well-arranged collection of recipes accompanied by simple directions, without too many details to bewilder the reader, characterise this most useful book on cookery.'—The Sheffield Independent.

'As a cookery book to read, it is perhaps a little too matter of fact, but we cannot dip into it without gaining an appreciation to discover some dishes that have been met but never before laid bare.'—Court Journal.

A Century of English
Fox-Hunting

By GEORGE F. UNDERHILL
Author of 'Hints to Hunting Men,' Etc.

Demy 8vo, cloth, gilt top, with coloured frontispiece by
John Leech, 9s. nett.

PRESS OPINIONS

'Fox-hunting is a tolerably well-worn theme; of books on the subject there is an abundance, both ancient and modern; so the author deserves credit for a fair measure of originality and presenting old friends in new dresses. "A Century of English Fox-Hunting" will prove a valuable addition to the libraries of all sportsmen.'—Westminster Gazette.

'The contents of the volume before us are remarkably cleverly compiled, for although many of the facts recorded within the cover will be familiar to the student of fox-hunting lore, yet even the most learned, we believe, will find some little anecdote of field craft that will be new to him.

'Taking the volume as a whole, we consider it extremely well mapped out, and that it will have a large circulation is not only our desire, but our opinion as a sporting writer. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you, Brother George F. Underhill.'—The Shooting Times and British Sportsman.

'Mr George F. Underhill has written a very entertaining book in his "Century of English Fox-Hunting." He has succeeded in all his purposes, and has produced an admirable volume, notwithstanding the fact that, as soon as he commenced his work, the war denuded the hunting field of many of the keenest fox-hunters. In short, the book is an apologia for, and the exposition of, sport, and will be welcomed in the libraries.'—Army and Navy Gazette.

In the Land of the Boers
OR
THE OTHER MAN AND MYSELF
By Oliver Osborne
Illustrated by J.B. Clark

PRESS OPINIONS

'Mr Oliver Osborne belongs to that cheery company to whom hardship is a mere excuse for jocularity, and positive peril seems generally to suggest nothing more terrifying than a pun. It is an eminently readable record, for Mr Osborne was in Kruger's country at a very interesting time—the days of Barberton and the De Kaap Mines, the days when the Outlander first began to loom large in the Transvaal.'—Academy.

'A book with instruction and amusement in it.'—Daily Telegraph.

'Seldom has an unvarnished record formed more pleasant reading than does the account of these adventures.'—Glasgow Herald.

'This is a book of no ordinary literary merit.'—Western Morning News.
