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..."
