First edition of the author’s fatherly guide for amateur huntsmen. Large octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition.

The author states in his preface: "To enjoy any sport fully it is necessary to have a practical knowledge of the correct way of taking part in it. This in hunting does not mean just riding after hounds, and not attempting to know anything of what the huntsman and his pack of hounds are doing. This little book is meant to help the novice in this, and although it cannot, and does not, set out to be a dissertation for professional or amateur huntsmen on the way they should hunt a fox, it will give the beginner information and instruction. on some of the things he or she should know before deciding to follow a pack of hounds."
