Hounds. 



MY learned: Predeceflbrs have been Ca 

 full and copious in defcriptions of 

 theft Animals, in dire(5tions for mending 

 and improving the Breed,, in giving advice 

 for chuling, pairing,, kenneling, feeding, 

 phyficking, entering, governing, encou- 

 raging, and corre6ling the loud-tongued 

 Society, that there is little left for a new 

 Author, without repetition or impertinence. 

 Let me only admire and adore the goodnefs 

 of our bountiful Father, in furnifhing his 

 children with creatures fo innocently, as 

 well as healthfully, to divert them, in fup- 

 plying us with forces for fubduing and de- 

 flroying thofe beafts of rapine, which would 

 otherwife multiply, to the great dillurbance, 

 danger, and deftrudion of the reft of the 

 Creation. 



It is a common pradice of our young 

 Students in Philofophy, (for ufe or for di- 



verfion,)
