[blocks in formation]

This volume is the candid record of a life full of varied experiences. The author, with a wealth of anecdote and a rare fund of cynical humour, gives some account of his school-days, a vivid narrative of the years he spent as a lieutenant in the Queen's service in India, of existence in a cholera camp and in a Burmese gaol. Under the pseudonym of 'Nathaniel Gubbins' he is widely known as a sporting journalist, and no small portion of the work is devoted to the history and stories of the racecourse.

NEW AND COMPLETELY REVISED EDITION.

POULTRY-KEEPING

As an Industry for Farmers and Cottagers.

By EDWARD BROWN, F. L.S.

Fully Illustrated by LUDLOW.

I vol., demy 4to., cloth, 6s.

The continued popularity and demand for this work has justified a new edition, which has been thoroughly re-cast and revised by the author.

We are glad to welcome the appearance of an excellent volume by Mr. Edward Brown. The author has acquired so solid a reputation in connection with this subject that any praise of his work is superfluous.'—Morning Post.

'Mr. Brown is one of our best-known and most capable experts, and he has here presented the fruits of his wide knowledge and experience in, perhaps, the most useful form they could have taken. His book is, indeed, a thoroughly practical and trustworthy guide to poultry in health and disease; and whether a dozen hens be kept or a hundred, it will be their owner's own fault if, with Mr. Brown's excellent manual at hand, they fail to derive profit from their stock.'-St. James's Gazette.
