James Inglis was the son of a Scottish clergyman. "In 1866 he went to India at the instigation of his brother Alexander, a Calcutta tea merchant, and became an indigo planter in Bihar and the North-West Provinces. He revelled in tiger shooting and pig sticking, and published sporting verses, Tirhoot Rhymes (Calcutta, 1873), under the pseudonym 'Maori', and Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier (London, 1878). In 1875 he became famine commissioner for Bhagalpur. After visiting Scotland Inglis returned to manage extensive government territory" (Australian Dictionary of Biography).

This was a double volume, a reprint of his popular "Sport and Work on the Nepal Frontier", and the new volume "Tent Life in Tiger Land". Inglis writes in the preface this was because he had had so many inquiries for the out-of-print work on Nepal. It was previously published in Sydney in 1888.
