An interesting volume of hunting experiences covering a wide area of 

 interest, including the opinions on hunting and hounds of many 

 authorities whose names are household words in the annals of the 

 chase. Forsaking history, and breathing the atmosphere of the field, 

 every chapter happily blends the past with the present. On every 

 page we meet the names of friends who have hunted with one or 

 other of the packs up and down England during the past quarter of 

 a century. 



Profusely illustrated throughout, the author seizes passing events 

 and impressions while in the full enjoyment of a hunt, and each 

 chapter has its complete story for those who would pass a splendid 

 interval with some favourite pack of hounds. 



"The volume will at once take its place among the first favourites in the 

 fox-hunter's library. . . . Nothing but the superlatively good has found admis- 

 sion to these pages. It is good literature and good sport, a not invariable 

 association. The author is just as clever with his pen or pencil in another 

 way, that of the artist. It is a book to buy and to dip into often." — The 

 Sportsman. 



"The book is one over which hunting men will linger with delight." — TJic 

 Badminton Magazine. 



"Ought to be welcomed by every man or woman who lovts hunting the fox 

 for the sake of the thrills and thousand delights of this grand English sport." — 

 Daily Tetegraph.
