The Diary of a

Sportsman Naturalist in India

Profusely illustrated from photographs and sketches by the Author. Demy 8vo. £l ls. net.

Mr. Stebbing established his reputation as an author and as a "sportsman naturalist" in his books "Stalks in the Himalayas," and "Jungle Byways," while his "At the Serbian Front in Macedonia," and "From Czar to Bolshevik " showed his ability to write books of quite a different kind. In the present volume, Mr. Stebbing returns to his role of "sportsman naturalist," and the many charming little sketches which illustrate the book show that he is also an artist. The book is illustrated as well with several reproductions from excellent photographs. These fine stories of big game hunting and other sport are made vastly more engrossing by reason of Mr. Stebbing's great knowledge of the lives and habits of the various animals and birds concerned.

Punch.-"Dip where you may you will find none of the anecdotes trivial or tiresome. To sportsmen this volume will be extremely welcome."

Daily Chronicle.-"A book with more thrills than many a novel. One is entranced with these tales of jungle adventure and jungle lore."

New Statesman.—“ We do not remember a sporting book which gives a better idea of what Indian jungles are to the sportsman than this. Mr. Stebbing has a vast experience of different Indian jungles."

Spectator.-"A most interesting collection of reminiscences of big game shooting."

Truth.-"It is a long time since I read a book of sport of such allround and thrilling interest."

Pail Mall Gazette.-"The book teems with information and is excellent reading."

By "CIVILIAN"

Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net.

This book of experiences in South India is wonderfully fresh and interesting, and conveys a remarkably full and accurate impression of the country and its people. The author is a Collector, who has had charge of a District for a number of years, and his book has the vigour and attractiveness of a first-hand narrative of a phase of life that is known to the average English reader only through the stereotyped pages of the ordinary Anglo-Indian novelist.

Graphic.-"A remarkably full and accurate impression of the country and its people."

Truth.-"An extremely bright and amusing book. Deliciously satirical, always humorous, never vicious, this is quite the most diverting book of its kind that has appeared for a long while."

Court Journal.-"The author's outlook on life in South India is so unconventional, and with his sense of humour as well as obvious sincerity, should make many desire an early acquaintance with his fascinating werk.

Daily News." An excellent book. . . . Colonel Newell has a quick eye for things seen, and a happy interest in history that makes the book something more than a motorist guide-book. . . . Fully illustrated with photographs of great interest and variety."

Daily Mail.-"Everyone ought to know more about India, and a pleasant way of informing oneself is offered by Colonel Newell's 'Topee and Turban in India.'"

Westminster Gazette.-" In this book Colonel Newell shows that he has been a close student and observer of many things in India and Indian life."
