vi Preface 



kindly assistance received, they have, in a great measure, 

 been overcome. 



The illustrations are chiefly from old prints in my 

 possession, and will, it is hoped, be of some additional 

 interest. 



In conclusion, I desire to express my appreciation and 

 thanks to those who have kindly tendered assistance, 

 particularly Mr. Byron, Sam Hills, Tom Gilbert, and 

 many others ; whilst I also wish to mention that any 

 profit derived from the sale of this book will be devoted 

 to the Hunt Servants' Benefit Society, particulars of which 

 will be found at the end of the volume.
