Book Description

Excerpt from Ladies in the Field: Sketches of Sport The sportsman who walked through the turnip fields, thinking of nothing but his dog and his gun, has been drinking in the love of beauty at every pore of his invigorated frame, as, from each new tint of autumn, from every misty September morning, from each variety of fleeting cloud, each flash of light from distant spire or stream, the unnoticed in fluence stole over him like a breeze, bring ing health from pleasant places, and made him capable of clearer thoughts and happier emotions.
