From Preface: If it be urged that an account of the life and works of one who has been dead for sixty years is overlate, the answer is that the immortality of John Jorrocks extends to his creator; and while the popularity of Jorrocks endures, interest in the writer who gave him birth also endures.The novelist was reticent, even with the members of his own family, concerning whatever literary work he had in hand; hense none at Hamsterley Hall could have been aware that during the last months of his life he was engaged in writing a book to be entitled "Sporting and Social Recollections," which, as appears from his papers, he proposed to publish under his own name, thus laying aside the anonymity he had theretofore preserved.
