PREFACE. 



These Notes on Hunting, primarily written for 

 and dedicated to his grandchildren by Lord North, 

 were only intended for private circulation, but the 

 advice given is so sound and of such a practical 

 character — in fact, just what should be put into the 

 hands of every young sportsman — that they were 

 felt to be worthy of a wider publicity ; and so his 

 Lordship has been prevailed upon to give the 

 necessary permission to publish the Notes in the 

 present form.
