Excerpt from The Wild Sports of India: With Detailed Instructions for the Sportsman; To Which Are Added Remarks on the Breeding and Rearing of Horses, and the Formation of Light Irregular Cavalry
In offering a second edition of this work to the public, it appears becoming to preface it with a few words expressive of the sincere thanks of the author for the very favourable and kind consideration the first edition has met with. The rapid sale and success of this was quite unexpected; indeed, it was not his intention to write a book for the reading public of England generally; his aim had been a book of instruction for the young sportsman going out to India, and possibly the perusal of this by those dear to him.
My friends have advised me in this edition to give in minute detail every information, ab initio, which may be useful to the sportsman going to India, both for his health, his comfort, and for his safety.
