The rifle and the hound in Ceylon / by S.W. Baker. (London : Longmans, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1854)

For those stationed in India and Africa, hunting was the favourite sport. Samuel Baker's book on hunting in Ceylon has much on elephant hunting. The coloured frontispiece shows an elephant which is being restrained by ropes around two of his feet while the hunter tries to lasso the beast.
