Abstract
THE title of this book well describes its contents; but Mr. Hudson has established so high a standard by his previous work that the present volume has something of the character of an anti-climax. In literary style, in picturesque description, and in suggestive ideas and reflections there is no falling off; but we miss the wealth of original observation and ingenious speculation which made “The Naturalist in La Plata” a masterpiece.
Idle Days in Patagonia.
By W. H. Hudson, Author of “The Naturalist in La Plata.” (London: Chapman and Hall, 1893.)
