" From end to end ' Nature near London ' is full of happy touches and pleasant fancies, as well as of instruction." — Si. James's Gazette.

"All pleasant alike, and all instinct with that minutely artistic power of sketching from nature in the most careful detail which forms Mr. Jefferies' characteristic gift in literary handicraft." — Pall Mall Gazette.

" In his new book Mr. Jefferies breaks new ground ; his report reads like a romance, so full of strange matter is it. . . . His book is good in itself, and a book for everybody to read and enjoy." — A thencEum.

" A very charming book." — Tablet.

"This book is in some respects the most interesting of any which Mr. Jefferies has produced; a book which crams more observation into a single page than most people have been able- to make in all their lives." — Saturday Review.
