To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He brought this large skin from Caffraria, where he killed the animal, a distance of two hundred leagues from the Cape of Good Hope. Should the traveller, accidentally, or in pursuit of natural objects, find himself possessed of the carcase of one of these large and fine animals, he would deeply regret not being able to fetch away the skin from want of a knowledge how to separate it from the body. We shall, therefore, sup- pose that he has killed an animal the size of a Bull. He must first make... an incision under the belly, in the form of a double cross. The central line must reach from the chin to the anus ; the two other transverse cuts must reach from one foot to the other. These are always made inside, so that the seams may be less conspicuous when the animal is mounted. When the skin is stuffed, the hoofs are detached by laying MANNER OF COLLECTING ANIMALS. 103 them on a stone, and striking them with a hatchet or mallet. The nails or hoofs must be left attached to the skin. After this, the skin is removed from the feet, legs, and thighs, and treated in other respects as pointed out in skinning the Ele- phant, at page 21.
