The disinterment of Nineveh is, as a matter of feeling, a small matter compared with the discovery of Sodom and Go monsh. We do not remember anything of a more thrilling interest.

" There can be no question that tha book is a thoroughly ge nuine one, and that its excellence is due to the obvious feet, impressed on every page, that the author is a master of his sub ject. It is full of pleasant stories, full too of the joyous, cheerful temper, the animal spirits of the English huntsman. The writer is so completely an impersonation of the character in which he speaks, so perfectly inspired by his theme, that even if he had not, as he undoubtedly has, a good faculty of telling what he has to say, the volume would be inevitably good The book does not consist wholly of mirth, it is the work of a huntsman who is much in earnest, and who speaks of the chief pleasure of his life in a way that will not only amuse but instruct less prac tised men."—Examiner.
