From the Introduction:

'Amoungst its many borrowings, his handbook, the foundational text of one of the world's largest international movements, embraced within its encyclopedic scope 'true crime' anecdotes, stock adventure tales, campfire hints, potted history natural and imperial, first aid tips, and recycled advice on the difinitive Scouting activities of observation and tracking'

The book ranks as one of the best-selling Anglophone works of the 20th Century; its publishing figures until after the second World War were exceeded only by those of the bible in the English-speaking world.
