Abstract
IT used to be said of leisured Englishmen that their first thought of a morning was—“What shall we kill to-day?” but in the present generation there is a steadily increasing number of men and women who prefer patiently to study wild animals in their haunts and to learn as much as possible about their character and habits. Instantaneous photography has added greatly to the interest and permanent value of this form of field sport, and both the books before me owe much to the camera.
