INTRODUCTION. 



HAVING been often applied to for information 

 concerning the most suitable Dress, the most 

 efficient Arms, and the best equipment for a 

 Sportsman, I have endeavoured, in the follow- 

 ing pages, to concentrate my ideas on these 

 points for the benefit of the uninitiated. I 

 have also added a description of the different 

 modes of hunting the fiercer denizens of the 

 Forest, and sundry practical hints upon travel- 

 ling and campaigning, that may be useful to 

 those who have not yet acquired that expe- 

 rience of camp-life, without which, in a wild and 

 almost unknown country, peopled by treacherous 

 tribes, the Traveller will have much difficulty in 

 keeping bis health sound and his skin whole.
