He gave you the idea of being a man who in an earlier 

 age would have made his mark as a bold rover by land 

 or sea. The story of his adventures thrilled the public 

 of his day, and 1 have no doubt that many a sportsman 

 who has since made himself a name as a slayer of big 

 game had the desire to shake off the trammels of civilisa- 

 tion and taste the joys of a wild hunter's life first 

 kindled in him by the graphic pen of Roualeyn Gordon 

 Gumming.
