Book Description

Excerpt from The Sportsman's Paradise: Or, the Lake Lands of Canada The acme of pleasure can only be attained by the sportsman when his confréres are permitted to share with him in the excitement of the chase. In this respect the chase may be compared to a good dinner, which is always most enjoyable when partaken of in the company of con genial spirits. A book may likewise be further compared to a dinner, since the first chapter is commonly introduc tory to the better parts which come in the regular order of the courses, while a narrative which produces no pleas urable excitement for the reader is like a dinner without wine.
