    About this ebook

    Originally published in 1826, this very early work on fox hunting is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. This is a fascinating read for any fox hunting enthusiast or historian, and also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.

      MY DEAR SIR,

      IT is now many years since I was first taught to look up to you with pleasure and respect as the first Sportsman of modern times, and the most cordial and enthusiastic supporter of the cause of Fox-hunting; nor have these feelings of respect been in any degree diminished during the experience of so many seasons.

      Is it therefore to be wondered at, that on the present occasion I eagerly avail myself of the honor of placing these observations, imperfect as they are, under your protection, with anxious hope, that, though only the hasty production of the moment, they may not prove wholly unacceptable?

          I remain,

      MY DEAR SIR,

                                ever yours sincerely,

                                             JOHN COOK,
