Synopsis

What true-bred city sportsman has not in his day put off the most urgent business-perhaps his marriage, or even the interment of his rib-that he might "brave the morn" with that renowned pack, the Surrey subscription foxhounds? Lives there, we would ask, a thoroughbred, prime, bang-up, slap-dash, break-neck, out-and-out artist, within three miles of the Monument, who has not occasionally "gone a good 'un" with this celebrated pack? ***-excerpt from "Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jollities"

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Our thoughts hark back to the cover-side and our heart o¿erflows with recollections of the past when life rode the pace through our veins and the bark of the veriest mongrel or the bray of the sorriest costermonger¿s sorriest Jerusalem were far more musical sounds than Paganini¿s pizzicatos or Catalani¿s clamorous caterwaulings.
