This book was written in the first part of the nineteenth century when many of the opinions now associated with big game hunting were not openly expressed. That aside, the book gives a good description of the hunting and shooting of big game in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). William Baker recounts his experiences with clarity as he meets rogue elephants, many other wild animals, and the natives.

As one can guess from the title, the following book is a guide, as well as a report, to capturing elephants from the wild and putting them in captivity. The elephants in question were taken from Sri Lanka, and the reports were penned by James Emerson Tennent, who was a Member of the United Kingdom Parliament for the Irish seats of Belfast and of Lisburn, and a resident Colonial Secretary in Ceylon.
