Abstract
WHAT the author accomplished with the assistance of Mr. George Malcolm in 1910 for the grouse he has succeeded in doing single-handed for the partridge in 1911, and the praise we felt bound to accord to his former effort we have pleasure in re-echoing in the case of the present beautifully illustrated volume. It contains, in fact, practically all that the sportsman ought to know with regard to the plump brown game-bird of our stubbles, and much that ought to interest the ornithologist. For Captain Maxwell appears to be a good field observer himself, and has likewise availed himself largely of the stores of information possessed by the better class of gamekeepers. Among such information, it may be mentioned, is a heavy and apparently conclusive indictment against the hedge hog as a game-poacher of the blackest dye.
