“In these ‘Letters’ we have one of the pleasantest little volumes
imaginable on all the curious life that abounds in the woods
and forests of Alabama--a part of the United States ‘visited
by comparatively few Englishmen.’ A vast amount of interesting
information, gathered from a careful and daily search and ramble
through primeval forests, woods, and swamps, is collected for us
in this little book, and put together in an extremely readable and
attractive form. We heartily recommend the volume.”--_St. James’s
Chronicle, Aug. 25._
