the Hounds, fo much as flie fhortens, fo 

 much do they haften, being drawn on by an 

 increafing fcent, even until Madam feels 

 them at her heels. 



Another reafon, more natural and eafy 

 than either of the aforefaid, why a Hare, 

 towards the end of the hunt, is often diffi- 

 cult to be killed, is, that if fhe holds her 

 circuit, fhe confines her works in a much 

 ihorter compafs, doubles here and there over 

 and over; {hifts, redoubles, and tries all 

 places for reft and fecurity, making a deal of 

 foiling in a little fpace, which variety of 

 equal fcent puzzles the Dogs exceedingly. 

 But this is difcourfe the illiterate Huntf- 

 man troublea himfelf little about, his chief 

 iludy and height of genius extending little 

 farther than to that moft defirable excellence 

 of hollowing loud, and winding the ilraight 

 horn, and talking to his Dogs in an unin- 

 telligible jargon, that a Hottentot would 

 blulli to be mafter of. 



So much for Kare-hunting. If you 

 meet with any of my fentiments that agree 

 with your own, or that give the leafl fatis- 

 fadory information, I am fatisiied. You
