Excerpt from A Century of English Fox-Hunting A preface must to a certain extent partake of the nature of an autobiography, and I fear that the majority of readers regard autobiographies with suspicion. Moreover, there are few books which require a preface to the first edition, though in subsequent editions it is only fair that the author should have an opportunity of making explanations in cases where he has been misunderstood. Nor, beyond acknowledging the kind help which I have received from friends and acquaintances, should I have made any prefatory remarks to the following pages, if it were not that I have been urgently persuaded to do so by those whose literary experience is far greater than my own. I have often heard it stated that the character of a book reflects the character of the author, and such undoubtedly must be the case when the book has any claim for originality. But in a work which only pretends to a moderate degree of research there can be little if any index to the character of the author, who accordingly should not be accused of personal vanity for writing a preface.

Excerpt from Foxes, Foxhounds and Fox-Hunting Whether it be for better or worse we cannot tell, for hunting goes on despite the advent of the motor car, the rush of traffic, and the glass-like surface of the roads. It takes a lot to prevent a keen hunting man from following his favourite pursuit, and so despite the wire, the petrol fumes, and all the rest of it, big fields still forgather at every meet of hounds.

With an aged man who has had a full share Of his favourite sport, the time arrives when he should be thankful for what he has received, and he naturally looks back and recalls the past events of his life.

Excerpt from Hunting in Many Countries IN the following pages the author has attempted a double task: he has gathered from the experience of many years recollections of runs with packs of hounds whose names are familiar to all, and he has complied with the wishes of friends in the North of England and elsewhere in giving particulars of certain packs which have hitherto been neglected by fox-hunting historians. He has not aimed in all these cases at giving the details which should be presented in every complete history of a hunt, but has relied rather on his own personal knowledge of countries with which he can claim to be fairly well acquainted. Some of the runs belong to recent days, others to hunting history. Three great runs, which may rightly be called historical, took place more than fifty years ago, and the author's descriptions Of them have since been confirmed and corroborated in the Field by others who had been present.

Excerpt from History of Fox-Hunting: In the From Country and Part This Shropshire From the Beginning of This Century to the End of the Season of 1884-85 Out hunting in 1749, but we are not told with whose hounds he was hunting, or what was the animal he was pursuing. The story goes that this Sir Watkin's second wife, a daughter of Sir Charles Shakerley, said to have been his own god-daughter, moreover young and beautiful, dreamed that her husband was killed out hunting, and begged him not to go out on that day. He had half promised to do as she wished, for youth and beauty will have an influence on us all, when a good-natured friend intervened, and persuaded him that if he listened to all the fancies of his wife he would soon have to give up all his amusements his argument prevailed, Sir Watkin went out, got safely through the run, but in crossing a field at Acton, near Wrexham (the seat of Sir Robert Cunliffe), on his return home, his horse making a peck, pitched him on his head, which came in contact with the only stone in the field.
