SPORTS
12.7 BUROPE, ASIA, AND AFRICA.
By Lieutenant-Colonel NAPIER.
author of " Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands," &c.
" Colonel Napier's new work will not only be received with a
hearty welcome by every sportsman, but he found not less attrac-
tive to the general reader. The list of sports described corn-
prehends;—in shooting, from the wild pigeon and quail to the
hawk and eagle; in hunting, from the foc to the wild boar and
bull ; besides numerous piscatorial adventures. Independently, how-
ever, of the sporting details, the many amusing personal anecdotes
and sketottes of the Colonel's brother oillcers and associates give ex-
traordinary vivacity to his pages. The work is illustrated with some
-capital engravings."—Bell's Life.
