A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Wild Elephant: And the Method of Capturing and Taming It in Ceylon

In this volume, the chapters descriptive of the structure and habits of the wild elephant are reprinted for the sixth time from a larger work, published originally in 1859. Since the appearance of the First Edition, many corrections and much additional matter have been supplied to me, chiefly from India and Ceylon, and will be found embodied in the following pages.

To one of these in particular I feel bound to direct attention.
