Dedication 



Ou revient toujours a ses premiers amours 

 is literally true with hunting. I have hunted 

 and seen good sport all over England, but as 

 the time draws near for me to 



" Scour the country in my elbow chair " 



it is the gallant runs over my native moors, so 

 many of which I have shared with you, that 

 stand out in boldest relief. 



Yours very faithfully, 



William Scarth Dixon. 



Fairlight, 

 Luton, Beds. 



November, 1911.
