MOORISH WANDERINGS AND RAMBLING REMINISCENCES. BY CHARLES A. PAYTON,

SARCELLE," of The Field, The Country, &c.; Author of "The Diamond Diggings of South Africa."

"The author writes with skill and point about all sporting matters. He has a keen eye for the picturesque in out of the way places, and very much of that artlessness in narrative which is the perfection of art."-York Herald.

"The volume is rich in picturesque description of scenes and people, in prosperity or in misery, in and around the towns of Rabat, Saffi, Mogador, &c., districts reputed dangerous in parts, but safe enough apparently for the universally popular chasseur." The Graphic.
