SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 



THE FIELD — " A welcome addition to the records of hunting." 



THE TIMES — "Belvoir was proverbial for its hospitality, and Mr. Dale, takings a 

 wider range than the hunting field, describes the habits and manners of its guests at various 

 periods. Mr. Dale tells many good stories and many interesting facts." 



SPORTING LIFE—" Mr. Dale's book must be read through and through— by the 

 sportsman for pleasure, the historian for facts, and by the breeders of all animals for the 

 results of judicious mating. It is about the best work on a hunting subject ever written." 



BAILY'S MAGAZINE — "He has produced a book which is much more than its 

 title promises, and he has indeed been fortunate in his subject. While Mr. Dale's record 

 centres upon the hunting field and kennel with scrupulous care for detail that hunt history- 

 demands, he invests it with stronger claims still upon attention." 



THE ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE—" Mr. Dale has succeeded admirably, and his book 

 is entitled to a leading place among the standard works on hunting. . . . The book is 

 well got up and contains many valuable and interesting illustrations, also a complete hound 

 list, maps and index." 



THE GLOBE — "A sumptuous volume. The illustrations are at once varied and ad- 

 mirably executed, and contribute materially to the interest and value of the volume. The 

 work appeals first to all students of county and family history and lovers of fox hunting. . . . 

 Must needs find a place in every country house and in the libraries of all who cultivate the 

 history of sport." 



COUNTRY LIFE—" Perfect and complete. ... By far the best book of its kind 

 that has come under my notice. It is illustrated profusely and well. The bestadvice that can 

 be given to hunting men and others is that they should buy the book for their use and 

 entertainment." 



THE MORNING POST— "Mr. Dale is to be congratulated on the production of a 

 work which will be read with keen enjoyment. . . . The volume is one which will appeal 

 not only to the lover of horse and hound. . . . A history of the Belvoir is almost equiva- 

 lent to a history of English fox hunting, and no pack has made more mark on the hounds of 

 other districts than this one. . . . Mr. Dale has performed an arduous task and is to be 

 congratulated on the successful result. . . . The book leaves nothing to be desired."
