The Rifle and the Hound in Ceylon, written by Sir Samuel White Baker and first published in 1854, is a hunting memoir that chronicles the author's experiences in Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka). The book details his adventures pursuing large game such as elephants and buffaloes, while reflecting on the impact of human activity on wildlife populations. Baker's vivid descriptions of the Ceylonese landscape and his nostalgic commentary on hunting practices provide insight into the culture and challenges of 19th-century sport hunting in the region.
