'Sketches of sporting adventures in Bechuanaland. Mr. Gillmore remarks, "If there is an Eden on the face of this earth it is 'Kooruman' - 'Kooruman,' that has been represented by Moffat and Mackenzie as a residence unfit for white men, and only one grade better than the Sahara Desert." The work possesses some notes on the flora and fauna of the country, more especially with regard to the game animals, birds, and ferae generally, and there are a number of interesting illustrations, together with hints to sportsmen intending to hunt in this part of South Africa.' - Mendelssohn vol.II, page 603.
