Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rifle and the Hound in Ceylon
Upwards of twenty years have passed since the 'rifle and Hound in Ceylon' was published, and I have been requested to write a preface for a new edition.
Although this long interval of time has been spent in a more profitable manner than simple sport, nevertheless I have added considerably to my former experience of wild animals by nine years passed in African explorations.
