Excerpt from The Sport of Kings
My thanks are due to the Proprietors of Country Sport, for whom the bulk of the articles which make up this book were written, for leave to reproduce them. They have been in some instances rewritten, and an occasional chapter has been added, but practically they are given in the same form as they originally appeared.
As they met with the kind approval of many of my hunting friends, I venture to express the hope that they may please when presented in book form.
I should add that, though I have carefully refrained from giving names, the anecdotes which I relate actually took place as I relate them, and most of them under my own eyes. In the other cases they were told to me by eye-witnesses.
