This book was first published in the second year of the reign 

 of Queen Victoria, and has become a Sporting Classic wherever 

 Fox-hunting is carried on. It describes the experiences of a Master 

 of Foxhounds, mainly derived from hunting his own hounds in the 

 Craven country, probably as difficult a country to kill a fox in as 

 any in England. But Mr. Smith so closely studied the science, 

 and so skilfully applied the art of Fox-hunting that he contrived 

 to bring a fox to hand on most days when he took his hounds out. 

 It would be interesting to know how many huntsmen achieve 

 this feat to-day. If any of them fall short of it they cannot do 

 better than read Mr. Smith's book, and try to find out how be 

 did it. 



If one were forced to select only one textbook to place in the 

 hands of a young huntsman, no mistake would be made in choosing 

 Mr. Smith's work. There are more actual stage directions in it 

 than in any other work of the kind not omitting the immortal 

 " Beckford " and every phase and aspect of the chase is 

 judiciously dealt with. 



In this edition no expense has been spared in the attempt to 

 provide illustrations worthy of the text, and the publisher is much 

 indebted to Mr. Basil Dighton for allowing him to reproduce some 

 rare coloured prints and valuable paintings.
