Excerpt from Sport and Travel Papers
These articles, with the exception of Nos. I. and II., were written immediately after the events described in them had occurred - in the year given above each - as a short record of travel and sport intended in old age to amuse and recall to my mind many delightful scenes then perhaps faded or forgotten.
They are now collected and printed privately to be offered to my friends, although I greatly fear that what I - it being part of my life - find interesting they might think the reverse.
As a compromise, therefore, I hope to provide an attractive cover.
Some of the articles having already been published, my sincere thanks are offered to the Editors of Daily's Magazine, Field, Land and Water, and Glasgow Herald for permission to reprint them.
