The Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon is a book written by Sir Samuel White Baker, a British explorer and adventurer, and published in 1854. The book is a detailed account of Baker’s hunting expeditions in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the mid-19th century.The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes Baker’s experiences hunting big game animals such as elephants, leopards, and buffalo. He details the various techniques and equipment he used to hunt these animals and provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and wildlife of Ceylon.The second part of the book focuses on Baker’s experiences hunting with hounds. He describes the different breeds of hounds he used and the training methods he employed to prepare them for the hunt. He also provides detailed accounts of the hunts themselves, including the excitement and danger of pursuing wild animals with a pack of hounds.Throughout the book, Baker provides insights into the culture and customs of the people of Ceylon, as well as his own personal reflections on the ethics of hunting and the relationship between humans and animals.Overall, The Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon is a fascinating and informative account of a bygone era of hunting and exploration in a beautiful and exotic land.There is one thing necessary to the enjoyment of sport in Ceylon, and without which no amount of game can afford thorough pleasure; this is personal comfort. Unlike a temperate climate, where mere attendance becomes a luxury, the pursuit of game in a tropical country is attended with immense fatigue and exhaustion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
