Excerpt from Lake Victoria to Khartoum: With Rifle and Camera

These paths are rapidly growing less solitary. The steamers multiply, the railways extend. Important footsteps brush back the jungle. The hunter who from some secret spot watches the slow procession of the elephants, or surprises the rhinoceros grazing placidly, is surveying a threatened if not a vanishing civilisation. We approach the period of more game-laws and less game. The achievements which this book records will become increasingly rare as the years pass by, and Captain Dickinson's jaunty chronicle will one day be studied by a generation of sportsmen who will view the good old times with envious and ultimately unbelieving eyes.
