PREFACE 



The idea of producing this volume for the press was 

 suggested to me by a friend, who had been looking over 

 my sporting memoranda, to which has been affixed, at 

 his particular request, an account of my sporting career, 

 from my earliest recollections. The work has no pre- 

 tensions to any lucidus ordo in the arrangement of the 

 Chapters, which are merely excerpta from my scrap-book, 

 somewhat resembling the various receipts contained in a 

 cookery book, which I hope, however, may not prove 

 wholly unpalatable to the Sporting Public. 



Scrutator.
