How and Where to Fish in Ireland. By " Hi-Regan."
(Sampson Low and Co.)—The present writer cannot pretend to test this book by any personal knowledge of the subject ; but he has observed that it has been highly spoken of by some who have the necessary qualification. He may, then, with this reserve, briefly commend it to the notice of angling readers. No better introduction can be given than the dosing sentences of the author's own statement of hia object in writing —" I had two ends in writing ; one will have been served if, by following my advice, my readers get sport,—their success in fishing will be the measure of mine in writing. The other end ie that many kindly Englishmen may, in the pursuit of an enchanting sport, add to their too scant knowledge of my beautiful and unhappy country, and its pure-hearted, sport-loving people."—Along with this we may mention as a book which, together with larger and wider interest, also appeals to the love of sport, Gairloch, by John H. Dixon (Co-operative Printing Company, Edinburgh). Any one who intends to take a holiday in the Highlands will find in this volume some excellent reading and a good practical guide.
