Lot Details

Lot 184
[INDIA-HUNTING] GRYLLS, JAMES WILLYAMS. The Out-Station; or, Jaunts in the Jungle.
London: Chapman and Hall, 1848. Second edition, the same year as the first. Publisher's pictorial gilt green cloth. 6 3/4 x 4 inches; viii, 153, [1] pp.; binder's ticket on rear pastedown. Shelf wear to boards, slight spine lean, hinges starting.
Czech notes that the book is scarce. This seems to be borne out by the fact that only a single copy of any edition has been noted at auction (though twelve copies of the first edition and one of the second edition are listed on WorldCat); possibly the book was privately issued by Chapman & Hall for the author, as otherwise their books usually saw fairly wide circulation. Czech notes that he hunted elephant, sambur, bear and boar and that "He accompanied the famous Ceylonese elephant hunter Major Tom Rogers on one of his hunts." Czech Asia p. 93.
