From the Introduction: "... Sanctuary would be outstanding as a contribution to our national knowledge of South Africa's fauns. It might justly be described as an encyclopedia of wild animal life in South Africa, as well as a vigorous and noteworthy piece of propaganda in favour of wild-life preservation in the Union. It reveals how deeply game protection has become rooted in our country..."

Inscribed, dated and signed by the author at the front. First and last pages age-toned, else very good.
