I received so many inquiries about the "Pigskin Library" (as 

 the list appeared in the first chapter of" my African articles in 

 Scribners Magazine [see p. 23]), and so many comments were 

 made upon it, often in connection with the list of books recently 

 made public by ex-President Eliot, of Harvaixl, that I may as well 

 myself add a word on the subject. 



In addition to the books originally belonging to the " library," 

 various others were from time to time added. Among them, 

 " Alice in AVonderland " and " Through the Looking-Glass," 

 Dumas' " Louves de Machekoule," " Tartarin de Tarascon" (not 

 until after I had shot my lions !), Maurice Egan's " Wiles of Sexton 

 Maginnis," James Lane Allen's " Summer in Arcady," William 

 Allen White's "A Certain Rich Man," George Meredith's " Farina," 

 and d'Aurevilly's " Chevalier des Touches." I also had sent out 

 to me Darwin's " Origin of Species " and " Voyage of the Beagle," 

 Huxley's Essays, Frazer's " Pas.sages from the Bible," Braithwaite's 

 " Book of Elizabethan Verse," FitzGerald's " Omar Khayyam," 

 Gobineau's " Inegalite des Races Humaines" (a well-written book, 

 containing some good guesses ; but for a student to approach it 

 for serious information would be much as if an abaltross should 

 apply to a dodo for an essay on flight), " Don Quixote," Montaigne, 

 Moliere, Goethe's " Faust,'"' Green's " Short History of the English 

 People," Pascal, Voltaire's " Siecle de Louis XIV.," the " Memoires 

 de M. Simon " (to read on the way home), and "The Soul's In- 

 heritance," by George Cabot Lodge. Where possible I had them 

 bound in pigskin. They were for use, not ornament. I almost 

 always had some volume with me, either in my saddle-pocket or in 

 the cartridge-bag which one of my gun-bearers carried to hold 

 odds and ends. Often my reading would be done while resting
