A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These Keminiscences of a Huntsman are offerea to the Public, in the hope that, while tliey mayafford amusement to the Reader, whether sportsman or naturalist, they may at the same time convey to the booted and spurred of the rising generation a higher appreciation of the animals of their use or abuse ;for in many kennels I have seen as much of the one as of the other. Many men have really seemed to me to opine that a horse was only made to be sat upon, jerked in the mouth and spurred, whipped or driven, while hound and dog were locomotive machines, unsusceptible of weariness, to be lashed when in fault, and ridden after when in the right, and tliat neither the one nor the other were susceptible, under better treatment, of increased capabilities. In short, their owners seemed to fancy, that, like the walnut-tree, the more you beat them, the better they be ;and that the duty of a huntsman lay in throwing the hounds into cover, while that of a whipper-in was to give a cut to every liound on road and field that came within the reach of his long whip. There is an old saying, that not one horse in a thousand suits a single snaffle, and that not one man in a million is fit to be intrusted with a curb.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
