Excerpt from Prairie and Forest: A Description of the Game of North America, With Personal Adventures in Their Pursuit
Dear Mr. Gillmore,
Your letter asking my permission to dedicate to me your forthcoming work on
"Accessible Field Sports" has gratified me exceedingly, and I accept with pleasure your kind proposition.
When on your return to this country after years of foreign travel, Lord Richard Grosvenor mentioned to me his appreciation of your talents, I did not, of course, foresee that his introduction would lead to our becoming friends. Since then, however, circumstances and kindred tastes have brought us closely together. Intimately associated, as I have the privilege to be, with my dear friend Mr. Frank Buckland in almost all hit undertakings, public and private, the love of Natural History which I have felt from my boyhood has been fostered by him, and he has imbued me with much of his enthusiasm respecting pisciculture. I immediately recognised the practical character of your writings on these subjects and on the Field Sports of the many countries you have visited, and if I have in any way aided you in making known the results of the observations you have made during an adventurous life, I congratulate myself and the public on my having been able to do to so.
I assure you that the kind and complimentary tribute you now offer me more than repays me for any encouragement I may have been enabled to give you.
