282 DISCRIMINATION. 



Your huntsman, you say, knows perfectly 

 the country he has to hunt : let him then ac- 

 quire as perfect a knowledge of his hounds : 

 good sense and observation will do the rest, at 

 least will do as much as you seem to require 

 of him; for I am glad to find you had rather 

 depend upon the goodness of your hounds for 

 sport, than on the genius of your huntsman. It 

 is, believe me, a much surer dependence.
