HISTORY OF THE L. & S. HUNT 



feeling of regret that the old Hunt had died down, 

 and a sort of smouldering desire for its revival, 

 requiring but little to kindle it into life. How the

 and fanned into a glow by the good sport shown in 

 the visits of the above-mentioned packs, suddenly 

 leaped into flame with the coming of the new year 

 of 1825, will be described in the pages which im- 

 mediately follow.
