Book Description

Excerpt from Practical Hints for Hunting Novices The following papers, which by the courtesy of the proprietor of the Field are now published in book form, were written chiefly because of the increased difficulties which Masters of Hounds and Field Masters have lately found with regard to the management of their fields. And as much of the want of discipline which is seen from day to day is the outcome of ignorance on the part of the ofienders, and is by no means intentional, it appeared likely that a few practical hints as to behaviour would be of assistance to those hunting people who had not been in the way of securing what may be called a hunting education. While the papers were appearing from week to week in the Field, many of the public expressed the wish that they should be published in book form, and this, therefore, has been done. The author now takes the' Opportunity of informing his readers that he has no wish to be didactic, but that the ideas and suggestions which are conveyed in the following pages have been gathered during a lengthy experience acquired in nearly half of the English hunting countries, and are the result of his own per sonal observations.
