Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Sportsman: Containing a Compendious View of the Ancient and Modern Chase, a Concise History of the Various Kinds of Dogs Used in the Sports of the Field
I am not aware that a taste for literature is incompatible with a passion for the chase; but it has frequently been remarked (and correctly too) that very few authors are to be found amongst sportsmen. On the subject of Field Sports, but little has made its appearance; and this little has not been more remarkable for the expensive manner in 'which it has been ushered into the world, than for its sloven ly carelessness, want of connection, and frequent absurdity. None of. The publications, in fact, this subject, contain that plain introductory infor mation so essential to the novice; theyiar'e, for the most part, made' up of common place observation, and unblushingly copied from one book to another.
