PEEF ACE 



IN the chapters constituting this little book I attempted 

 week by week, in the Banhury Guardian, during the 

 past season, to give a brief account of the existence and 

 progress of the Warwickshire Hounds since their establish- 

 'ment just a century ago. The interest which was taken 

 in their doings during the appearance of my weekly in- 

 stalments, tempted me to think the whole might be 

 acceptable in a re-published form. This I now issue, 

 tendering at the same time my most sincere thanks to 

 the many kind friends who have come forward and given 

 me much help and encouragement during the preparation 

 and publication of my work.
