Présentation de l'éditeur
Thus I have to record no wonderful bags of game, but simply the killing of what was absolutely necessary for the support of myself and attendants. Further, this narrative is written with the hope of amusing and instructing the general reader, as well as to impart information to the sportsman, that will enable him to find the lion and the elephant. Moreover, let no one be led away with the idea that every one has the privilege of shooting in these distant parts. So far from this being the case, it is only by special favour one can obtain permission to hunt large game in The Great Thirst Land. A nd, lastly, I would say that with moderate expenditure and half a dozen attendants I will pass through Africa from south to north, and probably not take more than a year to do it. My method is simplicity itself, and would probably not involve the death of a human being. The modus operandi, however, will only be imparted to those desirous to assist me in the undertaking. P. G. 15, Claverton Street, London,
