AUTHOR'S NOTE 



This work does not aspire to any literary dignity, being 

 merely as accurate and complete a history of a famous 

 pack of hounds as is possible to compile with the materials 

 at hand. 



To the many kind friends who have rendered me 

 assistance in my task I am more than grateful, and to 

 none am I more indebted than to the Earl and Countess 

 of Yarborough.
