A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Forest of Exmoor from time immemorial in accordance with ancient usage. The existence and nature of this pursuit had not as yet become matters of conamon knowledge. The Master at that time wasM r. Fenwick Bisset, an I rish gentleman settled inS omersetshire, to whom the sport owed its excellence and fame, if not its continued existence. Mr. Samuel Warren, of Dulverton, was secretary; the huntsman, Arthur Heal, was at the zenith of his fame ;and the Rev. John Russell, although some seventy years had passed (so I learned from his lips) since he first hunted the wild red deer, had not as yet entered upon the duties of the parish in which he spent the last years of his life. Beginning and ending with the long vacation, the wild sport of stag-hunting offered many attractions to one whose professional labours forbade him to yield to stronger temptations presented by I rish sport during the working months of the year. A gain and again I revisited those happy hunting grounds, and in each succeeding autumn the thoronghly Shakespearian character of the sport and of its surroundings impressed me more and more. I began by collecting passages illustrating the scenes with which I became familiar.
