THE TIMES. 



'Mr. Chapman has deserved well of the public. If he has not produced a 

 work of genius, a "Jungle-book of Equatorial Africa," he has provided a most 

 readable and instructive narrative, interesting both to the untravelled and to those 

 who know of old the meaning and the full joys of being " On Safari." ' 



THE GLOBE. 



' It is difficult to convey an idea of its peculiar fascination. . . . There is a 

 sense of wealth and spaciousness about the book that comes like a breath from 

 the forest to us poor dwellers in London town. His elephants move in tribes; 

 his rhinoceroses rise in covies ; hippopotami are as common in his lakes as gold- 

 fish at Hampton Court ; and his very pigs are monsters, inconceivable as possible 

 pork. Over the tale of his adventures lies an atmosphere of boundless freedom, 

 of a world in which Man is still but a competitor — and not always a very success- 

 ful one — with the Beasts, and has not yet enslaved either himself or them.' 



THE STANDARD. 



* Interesting as the text is, the illustrations are a chief feature. They are 

 exceptionall)' numerous and superlatively good. . . . The book is one that big- 

 game shots and students of natural history should buy and that everybody 

 should read.' 



THE SPECTATOR. 



•Those who know Mr. Abel Chapman's books on Spain and Norway will 

 welcome with pleasure this account of two expeditions up the Uganda line. The 

 average sportsman is not, like Mr. Chapman, a naturalist and an artist, and so is 

 unable to produce a book a tenth part as interesting as this. Though his style is 

 without pretension, he is such a keen observer of animal life and so competent an 

 ornithologist that every detail which he records is worth recording.'
