SAVORY, Isabel. A SPORTSWOMAN IN INDIA. Personal Adventures and Experiences of Travel inKnown and Unknown India.
"[Savory] offered a caveat to future women hunters: 'Do not set out on a tiger shoot without being prepared for a great deal of discomfort. Your temper, your personal comforts, will all be trodden under foot, and every annoyance must be borne under circumstances which amount sometimes to purgatory. Unless a woman is physically strong, it would be foolhardiness to spend eight weeks under such conditions.' " [Czech, p. 180]. London and Phildelphia. Hutchinson & Company. 1900. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo. Original green cloth with gilt title and decorations. Top edge gilt. 408 pp. Photo frontispiece. Black and white plates. Very good. An attractive copy.
