"Lyell provided rules for hunting big game, as well as chapters dealing with rifle selection and tracking game. The remainder of the text examines the natural history, traits and methods of hunting, species by species. The illustrations consist of sketches of the spoor of game animals, many being life sized. An essential work aimed at a generation of new hunters visiting Africa at the time."
