As one charge of an elephant has often been enough to make embryo hunters bid a final adieu to the chase, incipient Nimrods would do well to try their nerves by standing on railways till the engines are within a few yards of them, before going to Africa!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
