Schillings, Carl Georg. In wildest Africa. *$5. Harper.
7–35387.
Encouraged by the reception of his “With flashlight and rifle,” the author offers this fresh series of sketches and impressions of Africa’s wild life, illustrated by 300 photographs or what Dr. Heck chooses to term “Nature documents.” The chapters reproduce in description and picture animals of jungle and plains, aiming to impress readers with the importance of taking active steps to prevent the complete extermination of wild life.
“For the most part well written, and, we think, particularly well translated; the style is often narrative, which is specially attractive to young people, but besides tales of adventure there is much that deserves serious attention.”

“It brings the lives of African birds and beasts before us with almost startling accuracy. As a matter of fact, there is a wide divergence between title and text in this volume; the larger part of the text deals with matter entirely foreign to the title.” H. E. Coblentz.

“The power of the photograph in revealing the marvels of tropical scenery has never been so clearly demonstrated as in this volume, wherein the spirit of adventure is blent with the scientific spirit of investigation.”
