Five Years of a Hunter's Life in the Far Interior of South Africa, Vol. 1 of 2

Excerpt from Five Years of a Hunter's Life in the Far Interior of South Africa, Vol. 1 of 2: With Anecdotes of the Chase and Notices of the Native Tribes My dear Duke, I dedicate my 'Adventures in Africa' to your Grace for two reasons, - to mark my respect as a kinsman, and because I know the interest you take in the sports of the field and in the habits of wild animals. My volumes lay claim to no other merit than that of a faithful narration of facts as they occurred: and having been written far away from literary appliances, and often on occasions when the cravings of hunger were a more pressing consideration than the graces of composition, I trust to your indulgence to overlook in the success of my rifle the failure of my pen.
