Evidence: | W. J. Broderip to John Murray, submitting Captain W. Cornwallis Harris's Wild Sports in South
Africa, 8 April 1839:
'Capt. Harris's book is entertaining, and seems to be the work of an honest man devoted to
sport, and not caring what he suffers provided he gets his shot [...] There is a little expression
here and there in the Captain's book, that might be changed for the better -- such as a
rhinoceros giving up "the ghost"!' |
