[ENTERED STATIONERS' HALL.]
THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION.
THE JUNGLE.
" But everything else here is likely to be forgotten in presence of the wonderful jungle scene which Mr. Rowland
Ward has constructed. . . . This will certainly be the first of the many attractions to which visitors will turn.
They will find themselves in presence of a scene which is likely to keep their gaze for some time. Mr. Ward
has made the most of his limited space, into which he has collected the scenery and life which, in reality, is found
scattered over an area of many thousand square miles. On the right we have a trophy from Kooch Behar, formed
by His Highness the Maharajah, the most prominent feature of which is a tiger hunt. We see a great group in the
deep grass jungle. . . . Adjoining this are trophies designed to represent generally the Fauna and Flora of
India, by representative animals and birds, picturesquely grouped in illustration of their life-habits." Times.
"The visitors . . . were lost in admiration of Mr. Rowland Ward's masterly designs, modellings, and
general arrangement. The novelty is already known as ' the Jungle.' . . . The deep grass jungle is occupied
necessarily by many creatures which would not in their native wilds be found in such close companionship. . . .
The scene is rendered with true tragic power." Daily News.
" These numerous beasts . . . seem to illustrate the Fauna of India in a most vivid manner, and are very
artistically prepared and arranged. . . . The entire trophy has been prepared by Mr. Rowland Ward. This
group will unquestionably be one of the leading attractions of an exhibition which is already full of marvellous
things." Morning Post.
" Fitted up with the most perfect completeness a jungle the work of Mr. Rowland Ward. . . . The whole
scene depicted is so life-like that one is startled by its vivid realism. . . . This jungle alone is almost enough to
make an exhibition. . . . Besides, Mr. Rowland Ward has designed and arranged such other scenes in connec-
tion with several Colonial Courts." Daily Chronicle.
"Mr. Rowland Ward, of Piccadilly, provides what will probably prove the most attractive feature of the exhibi-
tion, in the form of a series of picturesque trophies representing India, Ceylon, South Africa; Canada, and Queens-
land. " Sport sma n .
"Perhaps the first place must be accorded to the jungle scene of Mr. Rowland Ward, which stands at the head
of the Indian Courts, and which will certainly prove one of the favourite sights of the vast show." Daily Telegraph.
THE SPORTSMAN'S HANDBOOK.
" Sport, however, it must be borne in mind, is a thing of every climate and of all seasons, and the manual referred
to 'The Sportsman's Handbook,' by Rowland Ward, F.Z.S. has a little to say of most regions, from the North of
Scandinavia to the South of India. All knowledge is apt to come in useful ; and even those of us who may never
know the delight of facing a charge of the Cape buffalo under some circumstances among the most dangerous
experiences of the sportsman, we are told may yet find a less rapturous pleasure in learning how a real sportsman
should entertain such a visitor. The next best thing to being able to shoot a lion in a workmanlike fashion is to
know how the thing ought to be done, and that is among the items of instruction in this little book." Daily News,
Leading Article.
" With this in his portmanteau, no one fond of shooting and collecting need any longer lament his inability to
preserve his trophies, since the directions given for skinning and preserving animals of all kinds are extremely clear
and simple, and rendered all the more intelligible by the wood engravings by which they are accompanied.
Quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects, are all dealt with in turns, and directions given not merely for
skinning them, but also for mounting them, if desired, a year or two (it may be) after they have been procured."
Field.
" No one has a better right to speak with authority on questions of taxidermy than Mr. Ward, whose skill in the
art is well known to everyone interested in the subject. In an introductory cliapter he deals with much practical
wisdom with the general equipment of a sportsman bent on big game, and gives some valuable particulars as to the
places in which in various animals a well-aimed shot will be fatal. . . . The middle of the book is occupied with
directions as close and full as possible as to the skinning and preparation of various creatures ; and, as we have said,
no one is better qualified than Mr. Ward to give such directions. After this comes a synoptical guide to the Hunting
Grounds of the World. A special feature in the arrangement of the book is found in the reservation of several
blank pages at the end for memoranda." Saturday Review.
"Mr. Ward's eminently clear and practical directions and hints come to us particularly well-timed. . . . It is
a thoroughly working little volume, and no sporting collector ought to be without it." Land and Water.
" A valuable feature of this book is the directions (with anatomical diagrams) given for vital shots at great and
dangerous game. This is original information, and so is the important division of the work that treats of the hunting
fields of the world, and what/erce natura can be met with by the sportsman in each locality. . . . The book is
a valuable and well-written contribution to the literature of the subject of which it treats, and it will be welcomed by
the gentleman sportsman, for whom it has been prepared, quite as much as by the aspirant in the arts of taxidermy,
to whom some of its pages will convey a sort of revelation." Country Gentleman.
"The text is made as clear as possible, but wherever the explanation can be assisted by an illustration one is
introduced." Daily Chronicle.
" The name of Ward, father and sons, has acquired a world-wide reputation. ... To sportsmen in India
this book should prove specially attractive and useful; it should certainly be in the possession of every sportsman and
collector." Calcutta Englishman.
" The traveller and the trader will find it a useful companion." Cape Argus.
