Horse and Hound (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Horse and Hound I am aware that many ideas and views advanced by me are at variance with those of other writers, especially from an English standpoint, but they are honestly given as seen, and practically experienced in the field and saddle during a quarter of a century's riding to hounds. I have also availed myself of the opportunity to discuss many of the intricacies of the game through intercourse, correspondence, and association with some of the best known fox-hunters in the country, so this book can hardly be called a one mans ideas. I make no pretense of being an authority or past grand master of the art, but merely give my observations, whether they coincide with those of others, or not. The indulgence of the reader is solicited for the crudeness of style, and plain method of writing. No attempt having been made to make this a technical text-book, scientific or classical treatise, but to make it as clear to the novice and beginner as to the expert, I trust my efforts in this line may not cause the average reader to say that much more might have been entertainingly and instructively told in half as many pages.
