■^ Preface 



In his Introduction to the Engh'sh edition of With 

 Flashlight and Rifle Sir Harry Johnston declares that 

 that work was " bound to produce nostalgia In the lines 

 of returned veterans " ; I trust that In Wildest Africa 

 will bring also to such readers a breath from the wilderness 

 awaking In them memories of exciting experiences on the 

 velt. Above all, I trust that Its appeal will be not to 

 grown readers alone, but that It will have still stronger 

 attractions for the coming generation. 



A preface should not be too long. I shall conclude 

 with the expression of the hope that I may be able pre- 

 sently to secure a new collection of '' Nature Documents."
