“Altogether the book, to which but scant justice can be done here, is full of interest and instruction, and the Aero club of America deserves high praise for getting together so much that is fairly authoritative on a subject of such importance.”

The volume is fully illustrated.”—N. Y. Times.

“We cannot say that the editor’s notes and comments on the journals are instructive or much to the point. Even the journals themselves will disappoint the reader who expects anything that can compare with Colonel Hawker’s diaries.”

=Aflalo, Frederick George.= Sunshine and sport in Florida and the West Indies. **$4. Jacobs.
“This volume is divided into three parts, treating, respectively, of ‘The way there,’ ‘Tarpon-fishing and other sport,’ and, finally, ‘Home by the Spanish main.’ Although fishing was the pole star which held steady through the trip of eleven thousand miles, this Briton had eyes for many other things.”—Nation.
“Mr. Aflalo’s account of the natural history of the tarpon, in so far as it is known, is very thorough and fascinating, and were any further inducements required to persuade fishermen to go west for tarpon it would be found in the pages of this interesting book.”
“Had Mr. Aflalo gathered his impressions at greater leisure, and generalized less from trivial instances, he would have informed his volume with the more genial spirit which we associate with the men who go a-fishing. For we can find no fault with Mr. Aflalo’s story of his tarpon fishing.” H. E. Coblentz.
