photograph of her late husband, Alexander Russel of 

 The Scotsman, which is here reproduced. 



By the courteous permission of Messrs. Henry 

 Graves & Co., Ld., publishers of the engravings, I have 

 secured the fine equestrian portrait of Sir Richard 

 Sutton as Master of the Quorn Hounds, which forms 

 the frontispiece to the second volume, and also the 

 celebrated " Connoisseurs," in which Sir Edwin 

 Landseer has limned his own likeness. 



For the rest, the reproductions of Abraham Cooper's 

 pictures speak for themselves, and serve to give the 

 sportsman of to-day some idea of the modes in which 

 his grandfather and great-grandfather pursued their 

 sport with Rod and Gun.
