The book also includes detailed illustrations of the different tools and techniques used to capture and tame the elephants. The author's firsthand experience with the elephants and his extensive research on the subject make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Ceylon, as well as the study of wild animals and their behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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.
