and marvellous Tales of Hares. 1 8 1 



know I live in the woodland country, and 

 write like fuch a one; my Huntfman is 

 obliged to be always on foot, and a nimble 

 one. The properties requilite to make a 

 good one, are, as before is hinted, everlafting 

 patience, indefatigablenefs, a good heel, to- 

 lerable mufical voice, and a natural love for 

 Hounds and Hunting. Lying tongues the 

 honefteft carry, but if they do not impofe 

 on their Maflers it may be pardoned. Hare- 

 hunting is a fine recreation, and, for innu- 

 merable reafons, worthy of being followed, 

 but often fuch hard exercife on foot, that 

 were boys put apprentice to it, not one in 

 fifty would ferve out his time.
