Excerpt from Large Game Shooting in Thibet, the Himalayas, Northern and Central India

The love of the chase is an instinct which centuries of civilisation have been unable to eradicate; the pursuit which was a necessity to the savage, and in fact the business of his life, being now followed as a relaxation by those whose means place them in a position where physical toil and hardships are totally unnecessary.

That this instinct, like most of the promptings of healthy nature, is a pretty safe guide to follow, is generally admitted and there are few who question the advantages to be derived from field sports, among the votaries of which may be numbered some of the greatest names in history.
