Author of " Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands," Ste.
" Colonel SNapler's new work will not only be received with a
hearty welcome by every sportsman, but be found not less attrac-
tive to the general reader. The list of sports described com-
prehends:—in shooting, from the wild pigeon and grail to the
hawk and eagle ; in hunting, from the fox to the wild boar and
bull ; besides numerous piscatorial adventures. Independently, how-
ever, of the sporting details, the many amusing personal anecdotes
and sketches of the Colonel's brother officers and associates give ex-
traordinary vivacity to his pages. The work is illustrated with some
capital engravings."—Bell's Life. -
