land in search of the same broad-antlered stags ; whilst on 

 the other hand the descriptions of Mr. Prichard's hunting 

 experiences in Patagonia, in Labrador, in Norway, and in 

 Eastern Canada have all given me the greatest interest, 

 because I still have hopes of following his footsteps into, at 

 least, some of the more accessible of these hunting grounds 

 of which he has been the pioneer. 



In reading this book and I trust it will be widely read 

 both in this country and on the other side of the Atlantic 

 no one can fail to be impressed with the fact that Mr. 

 Prichard has worked very hard for and well deserved all the 

 fine trophies which have fallen to his rifle. He has never 

 killed wantonly, but on the contrary over and over again 

 has spared the life of a thoroughly warrantable stag, in the 

 hope which was as often as not disappointed of meeting 

 with a better. Whether in Patagonia, Norway, Newfound- 

 land, or here on our Worplesdon cricket ground, Mr. Prichard 

 has always played the game as a true sportsman should. 

 What can I say more except to express the hope that this 

 book will be widely read and that the Author's forthcoming 

 hunting and exploring expedition into the wilds of Labrador 

 will meet with all the success which I am sure it will so well 

 deserve.
