This is a reprint of the 1929 edition. From the Foreword, "Denis Lyell was a Scot, born in India, who spent a large part of his life hunting in central Africa before retiring to Scotland. These bare facts demonstrate how intimately Lyell's life was bound up with the British Empire....Denis Lyell's...life offers fascinating insight into British imperialism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."
