Excerpt from Broadland Sport

The substance of part of the work has previously seen the light of day in article form which I have contributed from time to time to the pages of The Field, Land and Water, The Shooting Times, Rod and Gun, and other periodicals and magazines, and through the kindness and courtesy of the editors of which I am enabled to reproduce them.

Recognising the fact that this is an age of magazine reading, I have here and there introduced short stories founded on fact, in an endeavour to illustrate the better the peculiarities of Broadland sport, which, to many visitors, constitute its greatest charm.

I would thank the many friends who have so kindly assisted me with details and facts not within my own knowledge which especially applies to the chapters on yachting. Amongst them I individualise Colonel H. M. Leathes, Mr T. M. Read, Mr L. E. Bolingbroke, Mr G. H. Lovewell Blake and Mr Richard Fielding Harmer, not forgetting an affectionate parent and a good sportsman of the old school in my father, Mr W. Spencer Everitt.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr Russel J. Colman, Mr Edwin Poyser, Mrs A. W. Weldon, Miss M. Pickthall, Mr E. P. Buckworth, Mr R. Lee Barber, Mr G. M. Chamberlin, Mr J. J. Dawson Paul, The Rev. H. Rogers, Mr Ralph Watling, Mr W. S. Parker, Mr H. Johnson, Mr F. Miller, Mr H. Jenkins and Mr Hubert Palmer, for the loan of photographs of yachts or relating to yachting. Also to Mr Herbert Baker for permitting me to reproduce the curious painting in tempora depicted on page 64.
