THE RIFLE AND THE HOUND; or, Wild Sports 

 IN Ceylon. By S. W. Baker, Esq. With numerous 

 Illustrations, printed in colors and Engravings on Wood.^ 



This Island has been always celebrated for its elephants, 

 but the other branches of sport are comparatively unknown to 

 strangers. No account has ever been written which embraces all 

 Ceylon sports. Anecdotes of elephant shooting fill the pages of 

 nearly every work on Ceylon ; but the real character of the Wild 

 Sports of this Island has never been described, because the writers 

 have never been acquainted with each separate branch of the 

 Ceylon chase. 



One fact I wish to impress upon all — that the coloring of every 

 description is diminished and not exaggerated, the real scene being 

 in all cases a picture, of which the narration is but a feeble copy.
