SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



much to be said in favour of writing while first impressions are vivid . . . 

 Mr. Gouldsbury has combined both methods. . . . We see the forest scenes 

 through the wondering eyes of delighted novicehood. . . . Incidentally 

 we obtain some interesting light on the usages of such men when dealing 

 with beasts and their own lives. The book is thoroughly readable and 

 we look forward with pleasure to the fulfilment of the author's half promise 

 to) write more of the doings of Dulall. . . . Mr. Gouldsbury has manifested 

 a stock of good wares still to show us ... In any case we shall have a 

 ready-made welcome for further news of Dulall." 



Madras Times, May 14, 1910. . . . "Mr. Gouldsbury's is a very 

 accurate description of Indian jungle life by one who is evidently thoroughly 

 conversant with the conditions he describes. . . . The story is told in a 

 simple straightforward manner. . . . Incidentally it is no mean guide to the 

 ways of beasts in the Bengal jungles, and the advice of Dulall is thoroughly 

 reliable." 



Indian Field, June 16, 1910. "This is an interesting little volume 

 . . . relating to the Indian jungle . . . the chapters are full of vivid 

 interest and every page possesses a charm of its own as the narrator 

 unfolds his thrilling experiences. The biggest of big game are here 

 described as only a great Shikari can describe ; but the writer's ' tour de 

 force ' is the rollicking humour which pervades the whole book. Dulall 

 Singh . . . rivals anything yet heard of in history or romance. Here is 

 an admirable pen-picture of this Caleb Balderstone . . . Mr. Gouldsbury's 

 book has the merit of being an eminently reasonable one. We hope to 

 have a continuation of this bright, amusing yarn, and the further doings 

 of Dulall." 



Sunday Times, Sept. 18, 1910. . . . "The incident and adventures 

 are ably recounted and makes interesting reading. Written by one who 

 knows his subject from the inside." 



Rangoon Times, Sept. 10, 1910. "'Dulall the Forest Guard.' . . . 

 This is a book which is bound to become a great favourite with young and 

 old ... for these tales are told by a man who must be a great Shikari 

 himself. The story is given with all the practical details that nowadays 

 is looked for in a sporting story. . . . But Mr. Gouldsbury is evidently 

 intimately acquainted with Indian forest scenery, and . . . the author's 

 powers of description are very considerable ; he knows how to excite and 

 enchain the reader's interest . . . the picture of the ' thin, withered, little 

 old man ' has been drawn with very considerable skill." 



Daily Mirror, Aug. 15, 1910. " * Dulall the Forest Guard,' by C. E. 

 Gouldsbury. . . . The stories of danger . . . are convincing and the 

 simple way in which they are told does not detract from their charm."
