The first book by the most quoted sporting writer of the Victorian age - and still the foundation text of coursing practice.
John Henry Walsh, a surgeon who became editor of The Field, wrote as Stonehenge, and in 1853 he turned the articles he had been writing for Bell's Life into The Greyhound. It covers the breeding, rearing, training and kennel management of coursing dogs for public running, the diseases they suffer and their treatment, and the national rules for the management of coursing meetings and the decision of courses.
It appeared five years before the National Coursing Club was founded, and it remained the standard textbook on the subject for the rest of the century - the book against which every later coursing writer measured himself.
This edition features:
- The 1853 first book of Stonehenge, the age's foremost authority on sporting dogs
- Breeding, rearing, training and kennel management for public running
- Diseases and their treatment, as the Victorian kennel understood them
- The national rules for coursing meetings and the decision of courses
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
