Hardcover. Condition: Good. First published 1899. Dust jacket with protective plastic cover. Tanning on inside cover. Some foxing (how appropriate!). Author (1740-1811) was a sportsman and famous master of fox hounds (though today, the descriptions may be a contradiction in terms!). As a contemporary wrote, 'Never had fox or hare the honour of being chased to death by so accomplished a hunter'. I'm sure the fox and hare would have agreed! But still an important source for social, cultural and agrarian history at the time of the Industrial Revolution. 220 pages. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £11.65.
