His narration is given ! with all the simplicity of Robinson fLrusoe, but it has the advantage oi a Vividness and strength of expression Sand spirit, supported by the attendant 'leircumstanees recounted, that distin guishes reality from fiction, ' The sto- h y of the exploits of the hunter Cum- mm";s, among the unwieldy game ot 'Africa, although it attains- verisimili tude m the same way, has not equal i, 'interest lor me.
