Glasfurd, A. I. R. Rifle and romance in the Indian jungle: being the record of thirteen years of Indian jungle life. [*]$5. Lane.
The author has aimed “to present an old, though still engrossing subject in what is perhaps a novel manner: to carry the reader into more direct contact with the surroundings of the Indian sportsman and naturalist, and, while avoiding as much as possible the recital of personal experience with its stereotyped accompaniments, to lead him into the jungle, with all its fascinating variety of scene and season, hill and plain, where in spirit he may make acquaintance or renew an intimacy with its shy denizens and their habits.” The illustrations are taken from photographs or from sketches by the author.
“Has succeeded in preparing a most cunning and admirable blend of fact, romance, weird mystery and sound advice. Search where one will through this entertaining book, one happens always upon sound literature, fine descriptions, good natural history and lively adventure.”

“As sound and readable a book of its class as we have seen for many a day. The book generally, though occasionally a little slack in its phrasing, may be commended to young sportsmen as a guide, and to old as recalling pleasant reminiscences.”
