Book Description (Hardcover, 1979). (1937) 1979 facsimile limited edition. 4to (207 x 256mm). Ppxii,234. B/w photograph plates, colour paintings by Baron Karl Reille, and T. Ivester Lloyd, foreword by the Duke Beaufort. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Edition limited to 600 copies, numbered and signed by Sir Rupert Buchanan-Jardine, Bt., M.F.H. Lightly tanned but a very good copy in slightly used & frayed dust-wrapper. #237 of 600 signed & numbered copies. "Wherever hunting with hounds goes on in the world at the moment, it has always been either copied, adapted or borrowed from the French or English system: the same may be said of the hounds used. All hounds hunting in any country now are of either French or English origin, or a mixture of both. I propose to describe the hounds of France first, as it was from there that our hounds came; then those of England, and lastly the strains evolved in America from a mixture of the two foregoing. To go thoroughly into the origin and history of the various breeds of hounds, it will be necessary to describe a number of types, some of them practically extinct now, but to which many of the traits to be found in our modern hounds may be traced. The conclusion that I have reached have not been jumped to in any rash or partisan spirit, but have been arrived at after carefully weighing a great deal of often conflicting evidence, and a great number of different opinions which I shall quote." .
