Book Description

Excerpt from Extracts From the Diary of a Huntsman This book was published in the second year of the reign of Queen Victoria, and is the result of the experiences of a Master of Foxhounds mainly derived from hunting his own Hounds in the Craven Country, probably as difficult a country to kill a Fox in as any country in England. But Mr. Smith so closely studied the Science and so skilfully applied the Art of Foxhunting that he contrived to bring a Fox to hand on most days that he took his Hounds out. It would be inter esting to know how many huntsmen achieve this feat to-day. If any of them fall short of it, they cannot do better than read Mr. Smith's book, and try to find out how he did it.
