lively red, and fuch as have a white fpot in their Fore- 

 head, or have a Ring about their Neck ; but thofe which 

 are yellowifh, and fpotted with blacli or dun, are of lit- 

 tle eltimation. Thofe which are well joynted, having 

 good Claws, are ht to make Blood-hounds : and thofe 

 which have (bagged Tails, are generally fwift runners. 

 Thefe Hounds are fitter for Princes than private Gentle-' 

 men, bccaufe theyfeldom run more than one Chace j 

 neither have they any great l^omack to the Hare or o- 

 ther fmall Chafes : and, which is worft of all, they are 

 apt to run at tame Beafts.

THefc are good for all Chafes , and therefore of 

 general ufc. The beft coloured are fuch as are 

 dun on the Back, having their four quarters tann'd, 

 or of the complexion of aH^re's Legs: But if the Hair 

 on the Back be black, and their Legs freckled with red 

 and black, thc7 then ufually prove excellent Hounds: 

 and indeed there are few dun-coloured to be found bad i 

 the worft oi them are fuch whofeLegs are of a whitifh 

 colour. It is wonderful, in thefe creatures, toobferve 

 how much they (iick upon the knowledge of their Ma- 

 imer, efpecially his Voice, and Horn, and none's elfe. 

 Nay, farther , they know the diftindt Voices of their 

 Fellows, and do know who are Babblers and Liars, 

 and who not i aiid will follow the one, and not theo- 

 ther. 



Now for Hounds, the Weft-country, Chejhire^ and 

 Lancajhire^ with other Wood - land and Mountainous 

 Countries, breed our Slorv-hound ■■, which is a large great 

 Pog, tall and heavy. fVorceJier - (hire^ Bedford -Jhire,
