Excerpt from Chasing Racing: Some Sporting Reminiscences

And with them perished all those notes, diaries, and cuttings, on which I had relied for my data; so that only the ashed of memory remained to stimulate my pen. On this ephemeral faculty of memory, therefore, I have had to rely entirely; so I trust that such readers as I may have will make due allowance for any inaccuracies or anachronisms which may appear in the following pages. I had set forth on my labour of love to chronicle my rambling reminiscences in many connections besides Chasing and Racing, such as coursing, shooting, angling, rowing, and various other experiences; but I soon found that the great games of hunting and racing exhausted the space allotted to me. If the fates are propitious I may yet have an opportunity for dealing with these other ventures in which I have exploited my sporting tastes and ambitions.
