Camera Adventures in the Jungle 



By A. Radclyffe Dugmoee. Mr. Dugmore has for years 

 stood alone as a nature photographer, and to him is due much 

 of the recent progress in pictures of wild animals. He has 

 been in East Africa for some months (the outcome of years 

 of planning) securing the same lifelike pictures of lions, rhin- 

 oceroses, giraffes, and other African animals that he has pub- 

 lished of moose, deer, caribou, and other American big game. 

 His success has been notable, and the story of his adventures, 

 with the marvelous pictures, makes a book that presents the 

 heart of African wild life to the reader vividly and intimately.

The Poetry of Nature 



Edited by Henry Van Dyke. "Some of these verses are but 

 little lyrics, brief and delicate wafts of song, like Hen-it k's 

 'Daffodils'; others are deeper and stronger, moving with a 

 long-drawn, solemn music of thought, like Wordsworth's 

 'Tintern Abbey,' or sweeping us away with tempest tones, like 

 Shelley's 'West Wind.' But two things will be found in all of 

 them, simple or profound. They are true to the facts of Nature."
