Squire Of Beechwood A True Tale PDF Download

Excerpt from The Squire of Beechwood, Vol. 1 of 3: A True Tale Dear Lord Duke, In availing myself of your kind permission to dedicate the following Tale to your Grace, I must claim the greatest possible indulgence for the many imperfections both of style and composition, with which I am fully aware its pages abound. I have no pretensions to a literary character, and, as your Grace is well aware, would much rather handle the horn than the pen; but, as the former occupation is now denied me, the latter is adopted in its place, to beguile the tedium vit, or idle hours, which would otherwise pass heavily away, lacking the exciting employment of my earlier years. Although born and bred a true son of Nimrod, my ideas, like his, have not been solely occupied with the chase; but human as well as animal nature has been my study.
