SCIENCE OF FOXHUNTING. 125 



not then choose the hollow deepe mouthe, but the 

 loud clanging mouthe, which spendeth freely and 

 sharply, and as it were redoubleth in the utterance ; 

 and if you mix with them the mouthe that roareth, 

 and the mouthe that whyneth, the cry will be both 

 the louder and the smarter ; and the hounds are 

 for the most part of the middle size, neither extreme 

 tall, nor extreme deepe flewed, such as for the most 

 part your Shropshire and Worcestershire dogs are ; 

 and the more equally you compound these mouthes, 

 having as many roarers as spenders, and as many 

 whyners as of either of the others, the louder and 

 pleasanter your cry will be, especially if it be in 

 sounding tall woods, or under the echo of rocks/' 



This advice as to the compilation of a musical 

 lot of hounds may be of service to any new master 

 of hounds.
