LIFE AT THE ZOO
NOTES AND TRADITIONS OF THE REGENT’S
PARK GARDENS.
By C. J. CORNISH.
Illustrated from Photographs by Gambier Bolton.
Opinions of the Press.
‘In its graver, as in its lighter, portions, this absorbing work is without a single dull or superfluous line, and its value is not a little enhanced by the several beautiful reproductions of photographs of Mr. Gambier Bolton.’—World.
‘Mr. Cornish is manifestly a keen lover of animals, and a close observer of their habits and humours, and he records his observations in a very attractive fashion, genial in tone, curiously felicitous in description, and with frequent touches of quiet humour.’—Times.
‘He gives in short compass the results of long and patient observation, and in doing so displays to an envious degree the faculty of critical, but easy, exposition.’—Standard.
‘A more companionable book than “Life at the Zoo” for a visitor to the great menagerie, we cannot imagine.... Interesting, thoughtful, and teeming with acute and often minute observation, and the sympathy of a true naturalist.’—Spectator.

By W. H. HADOW, M.A.,Fellow of Worcester College, Oxon.
‘We have seldom read a book on musical subjects which has given us so much pleasure as this one, and we can sincerely recommend it to all who are interested in the art.’—Saturday Review.
‘It is a real relief, amid the rambling and slipshod effusions which constitute the bulk of musicalbelles lettres, to encounter such a volume as these “Studies in Modern Music,” by Mr. W. H. Hadow. Mr. Hadow is himself a musician of no mean attainments; but there is no parade of technical knowledge in his book. He writes like a scholar and a gentleman, his style is felicitous and his critical attitude at once sane and generous.’—Graphic.
‘He writes with striking thoughtfulness and breadth of view, so that his essays may be read with much interest by musicians. It is a remarkable book, because, unlike the majority of musical treatises by amateurs, it is full of truth and common-sense.’—Athenæum.
‘The essay on musical criticism is well worth anybody’s reading; its general tendency is to extend the basis of modern criticism, commensurably with the larger and wider scope of modern music, to establish standards of musical value by which modern works can be more justly measured than by the pedantic misapplication of once valid rules. In his whole discourse on the subject Mr. Hadow gives evidence of immense common-sense, backed up by innate and cultivated artistic perception.’—Atlantic Monthly.

‘The three biographies are charming: and in each case the author has something both true and new to say.’—National Observer.
‘The development of form is described with many brilliant touches and with complete grasp of the subject, and the book, which will probably be considered to be even better than the former work, is most heartily to be recommended to all who wish to attain the highest kind of enjoyment of the best music.’—Times.
‘Highly finished portraits are presented of the three modern masters named, and the articles are distinguished by the same musicianly knowledge and felicity of expression as those in the earlier book.’—Athenæum.
‘The amount of labour and research condensed into these pages is really remarkable.’—Musical Times.
‘There is not a word either in the historical or exegetical portions of Mr. Hadow’s work which will not furnish agreeable suggestion to the casual reader, and satisfaction to the student’—St. James’s Gazette.
