PREFACE 



zine. I may here acknowledge the generous 

 help the Editor of Baily is always willing to 

 extend to those who are endeavouring to con- 

 tribute to the history of fox hunting. 



This book has been long delayed, but the South 

 African war seemed to make it undesirable to 

 publish it earlier. I trust it may be not less 

 acceptable to those who have learned in the hard 

 school of war the true value of sport as a 

 national training.
