SPORTING

SKETCHES

AT HOME AND ABROAD.

By the Author of

"TEN YEARS IN SWEDEN," and "BUSH WANDERINGS IN AUSTRALIA.”

"It is needless to dwell upon the character and literary qualifications of 'The Old Bushman; all who are familiar with his writings possess the same means of judging. He was less a scientific naturalist thane of those pioneers who, by their adventure and daring, clear up points which would nerwise remain doubtful. He was not an accomplished scholar, but he was an appserver, and had powers of description possessed by very few. The sunrise in Lapla the details of his being lost in the snow, and the life-like descriptions contained in his porting Sketches,' can hardly, we will venture to say, be surpassed. Readers, we think, will be most amused by his 'Bush Wanderings and Summer in Lapland,' just as they will be most instructed by the perusal of his Ten Years in Sweden; but in none of his works will they find more originality-more, in fact, of those qualities which mark the man of genius-than in his 'Sporting Sketches.""
