I received so many inquiries about the 44 Pigskin Library 11 (as 
the list appeared in the first chapter of my African articles in 
Scribner's Magazine [see p. 23]), and so many comments were 
made upon it, often in connection with the list of books recently 
made public by ex-President Eliot, of Harvard, that I may as well 
myself add a word on the subject. 
In addition to the books originally belonging to the 44 library,” 
various others were from time to time added. Among them, 
44 Alice in Wonderland ” and 44 Through the Looking-Glass,” 
Dumas’ 44 Louves de Machekoule,” 44 Tartarin de Tarascon ” (not 
until after I had shot my lions!), Maurice Egan’s 44 Wiles of Sexton 
Maginnis,” James Lane Allen’s 44 Summer in Arcady,” William 
Allen White’s 44 A Certain Rich Man,” George Meredith’s 44 Farina,” 
and d’Aurevilly’s 44 Chevalier des Touches.” I also had sent out 
to me Darwin’s 44 Origin of Species ” and 44 Voyage of the Beagle,” 
Huxley’s Essays, Frazer’s 44 Passages from the Bible,” Braithwaite’s 
44 Book of Elizabethan Verse,” FitzGerald’s 4fc Omar Khayyam,” 
Gobineau’s “Inegalite des Races Humaines” (a well-written book, 
containing some good guesses; but for a student to approach it 
for serious information would be much as if an abaltross should 
apply to a dodo for an essay on flight), 44 Don Quixote,” Montaigne, 
Moliere, Goethe’s 44 Faust,” Green’s 44 Short History of the English 
People,” Pascal, Voltaire’s 44 Siecle de Louis XIV.,” the 44 Memoires 
de M. Simon ” (to read on the way home), and 44 The Soul’s In¬ 
heritance,” by George Cabot Lodge. Where possible I had them 
bound in pigskin. They were for use, not ornament. I almost 
always had some volume with me, either in my saddle-pocket or in 
the cartridge-bag which one of my gun-bearers carried to hold 
odds and ends. Often my reading would be done while resting
