ON SAFARI {continued) 



THE SATURDAY REVIEW. 

 (By F. C. Selous.) 



' Fifteen years have passed since the pubHcation of " Wild Spain," one of the 

 most delightful books on sport and natural history ever written ; and now one of 

 its joint-authors has given us " On Safari " . . . a most interesting and informing 

 book on the great game of East Africa, which can only enhance the author's repu- 

 tation as a good sportsman who delights in the wild life of the unspoilt wilderness. 

 . . . Throughout the book we have constant notes upon the lesser beasts and the 

 wonderful bird-life of East Africa, which prove that the observant eyes that were 

 the first to note the position assumed by flamingoes when incubating on their mud 

 nests in Andalucia have not grown dim, nor the enquiring mind of the naturalist 

 become less receptive. . . . To me Mr. Chapman's style of writing has always 

 been most attractive— simple, straightforward, modest, and convincingly truthful.' 



THE ILLUSTRATED SPORTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS. 



' One of the most complete and interesting volumes on African sport and 

 African nature that has been put before the public for several years.' 



THE YORKSHIRE POST. 



'All Mr. Chapman's writings rank him among our greatest traveller-natural- 

 ists, and in the new and little-known field of his latest explorations he has gone 

 far beyond the mere records of experience as a big-game hunter The facts 

 related are of great value from man)' points of view. . . . Perhaps the big game 

 of Africa, as they actually appear in life, have never before been more accurately 

 delineated. Each plate represents an actual scene either sketched from life on 

 the spot or immediately thereafter while impressions remained vivid on the 

 mental retina. The result is this unequalled series of pictures.' 



THE DAILY MAIL. 



[In a leading article of Dec. 23, 1908, places 'On Safari ' in its selection of 

 the twelve most popular works of that season.] 



THE YORKSHIRE DAILY POST. 



' The pages which tell of and illustrate the pursuit of the lion, the rhinoceros, 

 and the elephant, have living interest in everj' line.' 



THE IRISH TIMES. 



' What Mr. Selous has been to South Africa in his published works on the 

 fauna of those regions, that also Mr. Chapman now becomes to this newer paradise 

 of the hunter and the naturalist.' 



THE SHEFFIELD DAILY TELEGRAPH. 



' This is quite one of the best big-game books ever published. It beats other 

 well-known books in one important particular. Mr. Chapman is able to use his 

 pencil with the skill of an artist.' 



THE TIMES OF INDIA. 



' It is fortunate that so competent a sportsman and observer of wild life 

 should have been able to give us this vivid description. The illustrations are 

 numerous, yet there are none too many. . . . We confess to an old-fashioned 

 partiality for the work of the artist, who gives us more life and action than the 

 camera is able to portray.'
