Excerpt from Hunting Reflections These short chapters on some phases of hunting are a reprint of articles written for "Game and Gun." Having been written at intervals, and without any idea of subsequent collection in book form, must be their excuse for their lack of continuity. This does not pretend to be anything like a complete manual of the sport and are merely reflections that occurred to me at the time. Although meant chiefly as a little assistance to beginners at the game, experts might find some of the ideas worth their consideration. Hunting is an absorbing subject and the last word on it will never be written, so that even this modest contribution may provide something for discussion. When two or three enthusiasts are gathered together many pleasant hours can be spent in exchanging ideas on hounds and hunting. Foxhunting is the main theme in these pages, but an article "The Beagle and the Hare" was written at the same period, and has therefore been included. However, very many of the most successful amateur foxhound huntsmen have graduated with beagles, and this may not be out of place.
