Abstract
THE author has no occasion to offer apologies for converting the “Memories” into a trilogy, and it is with sincere pleasure that we welcome this latest addition to a charming series, of which we hope we have not yet seen the end. Whether his subject be forestry, the habits and activity of squirrels, local place-names, salmon-disease, or “vole-plagues,” Sir Herbert writes with a charm peculiarly his own, and, while imparting information, does so in a style which many of our best novelists might envy. Perhaps the highest praise we can bestow is to say that whenever one of the author's books comes into our hands for review, we invariably read it from beginning to end—and that with pleasure and satisfaction.
Memories of the Months.
Third series. By Sir Herbert Maxwell. Pp. xi + 290; illustrated. (London: Edward Arnold, 1903.) Price 7s. 6d.
