DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Hunting Shooting in Ceylon I Believe that Ceylon is still considered worthy to be included in the list of sporting countries of the world, but, though most of the other countries are well represented in sporting literature, the fact remains that for fifty years the only complete book dealing with personal experiences of Ceylon sport is Sir Samuel Baker's "With Rifle and Hound in Ceylon." Following humbly in the footsteps of such a mighty predecessor, it is with the utmost diffidence that I venture to place this book before the sporting world and my brother-planters and fellow-sportsmen in Ceylon. The truth is, however, that matters have so entirely changed since Sir Samuel Bakers day that his book must stand for all time by itself as a record of what Ceylon was. I hope that my work will show Ceylon as it now is, or, more correctly, what it has been during the last fourteen or fifteen years; and also I touch upon a number of minor sports which were probably beneath that mighty hunters notice altogether, but which belong most essentially to Ceylon of the present day. My low country experiences have been gained during short shooting trips taken yearly, and sometimes twice a year, since 1891, often alone, but occasionally accompanied by a friend. I have made no big bags have never tried to do so - nor have I any great number of trophies to show, but I have seen enough in my wanderings to justify my attempt to gather together what I know into book form.
