as
most readable bookof the year,
and a
permanent contributionto science."

" will give satisfaction
to
everyone whocares
for the
matterof which
it
treats,
or
rejoices

or
admiresfine book-making.""
The
narrative

The
Lndependent

" It
chronicles
and
portrays
the
greatest hunting trip evermade.
... It was a
great safari
; and
this living, breathing portrayal
of it in
word
and
picture will give pleasure
to
millions
of men and
women, boys
and
girls,who
by the
evening lamp will follow
'the
Colonel,' step
by
step
and day by day,
until
it is all
accomplished.
The
expedition

belongsto
the
world
; and it
will inure
to the
lasting benefit
of the
world
at

would
be a
fascinating narrative even

authorhad never been heard
of
before.

The Baltimore
Evening
Sun
says:
"The
form
of the
volume
is a
lesson
in
finebook-making.
It is
bound
in
brown silk
and
gold
and is
plentifully illustratedwith photographs, drawings,
and
maps.
The
type
is
clear, easily read,
and
well-proportioned
to the
pages
of
fine, white, heavy-wove linen paper."
