2 20 CENTURY OF ENGLISH FOX-HUNTING 



Of the numerous illustrated editions which have appeared 

 from time to time the best is that published in 1802, 8vo., 

 with full-page plates after Sartorius and woodcuts by Bewick. 



Bulmer's edition of 1796, 4to., with woodcuts by Bewick, 

 is, however, preferable in many respects, especially when 

 on large paper. 



The third edition, with Bewick's cuts, was published by 

 Bulmer in 1804. Roy. 8vo. 



I regret that I have been unable to discover any- 

 reliable facts in regard to the life of the author of 



Cynegetica ; or. Essays on Sporting . . . By William 

 Blane, 1788. 8vo. Frontispiece and vignettes by Stothard. 

 Includes Somerville's Chase. 



This book is, in effect, a new edition of Essays on

Essays 07i Hunthig, containing a Philosophical Enquiry 

 into the Nature and Properties of the Scent, 6^<r. Edited 

 by William Bane, ist ed. (1781.) 8vo. pp. xxviii. 135. 

 Extracted from An Essay on Hunting. By a Country Squire. 

 A second edition of this book, with The Method of Hare- 

 hunting Practised by the Greeks, by a Sportsman of Berk- 

 shire, appeared without date (but 1782?). See Cynegetica; 

 Essays on Hunting.

 only necessary now to mention his principal works.
