tr

Undoubtedly one of the most valuable aids to the practical study of
Geology that has appeared of late years."-MINING JOURNAL.

NIMROD. THE HORSE AND THE HOUND; their various Uses and Treatment, including Practical Instructions in Horsemanship and Hunting, &c. &c. By NIMROD (the late CHARLES JAMES APPERLEY, Esq.) Third Edition, with Numerous Illustrations on Wood and Steel, after drawings by Herring, Alken, and Harrison Weir. Crown 8vo, 10s. 6d.

A third edition of this valuable work has just been given to the public, which, in addition to the practical instructions in horsemanship and hunting, &c., which were originally contributed by its author, the late Charles James Apperley, to the Encyclopædia Britannica, contains much additional information, observations on the various sub

jects treated on throughout the work being extended down to the present date. No man was ever better acquainted with his subject than Nimrod, and no one can peruse his pages without deriving sound and practical instructions therefrom, for he wrote from long experience; and in all matters pertaining to the horse and the hound, and kindred subjects, as an authority, he is unrivalled. Whatever information, touching racing or hunting matters, may be required by the novice, will be found in these pages; whilst even old and experienced hands, who pride themselves on their knowledge of horses and dogs, may add to the wisdom they have already acquired by its perusal. In a word, to the sporting man it should be a vade mecum, and the naturalist should possess it for its intrinsic worth and deep research into the history of those valuable companions of man, the horse and the dog. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout; and in these days, when cheap and inferior editions of works are so much in vogue, it stands forth as a perfect gem."Sunday Times.
