“Full of accurate observation, brightly told.”—Saturday Review.

“It has the brevity which is the soul of wit, and a delicacy of allusion which charms the literary critic.”—Academy.
“The notices of each animal are, as a rule, short, though on some of the larger mammals—the lion, tiger, pard, boar, &c.—ample and interesting details are given, including occasional anecdotes of adventure. The book will, no doubt, be specially useful to the sportsman, and, indeed, has been extended so as to include all territories likely to be reached by the sportsman from India. Those who desire to obtain some general information, popularly conveyed, on the subject with which the book deals, will, we believe, find it useful.”—The Times.
“Has contrived to hit a happy mean between the stiff scientific treatise and the bosh of what may be called anecdotal zoology.”—The Daily News.
