WITH HOUND AND TERRIER IN 

 THE FIELD. 



PERSONAL REMINISCENCES, 



By ALYS F. SERRELL. Edited by FRANCES SLAUGHTER. 

 1 vol. demy 8vo, 15sm net. 



The anecdotes and personal touches with which the pages are 

 crowded are fresh and delightful, and appeal to the interest of the 

 general reader. From the time when the M^iter's father was hunting 

 with the Rev. Harry Farr Yeatman, Mr Farquharson, and Mr 

 Whieldon in Dorset, with the Rev. John Russell in Devon, and with 

 Mr Garth and Mr Deacon from his home in Hampshire, the reminis- 

 cences are continued down to the close of the last century, during the 

 later years of which Miss Serrell was hunting with the Blackmore 

 Vale and neighbouring packs, as well as in Hants and Berks. 



The Illustrations, many of which are from paintings in private 

 collections, form a picture gallery of well-known men and women 

 who have ridden to hounds in Berks, Hants, and Dorset from the early 

 years of the last century, and are not one of the least attractions of 

 this entertaining volume.
