Condition: New. 2010 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1880). SB vii + 312 ppPublished Price £14.50 Blundell was a Roman Catholic from an old Lancashire family. A passionate Royalist in the English Civil War, he was commissioned as a Captain of the Dragoons and was captured by the Parliamentarians and imprisoned at Liverpool. Repeatedly fined for refusing to abandon his Faith, he fled abroad and joined Charles IIâs exiled court at Breda in the Netherlands. Returning with the King on the Restoration, he was caught up in the Popish Plot when he and his Jesuit friends were accused of Papist plotting by Titus Oates. He survived into the reign of James II. These extracts from BlundelWilliamlâs writings give a triple portrait of a loyal Cavalier, a devout Catholic and a country gentleman in the late 17th century.

Illustrations on glossy leaves, text is on untrimmed heavy cardstock leaves. No Jacket. An introduction by Lord Willoughby De Broke. The work that is now placed in our hands is but little known to the present generation, though a modern Master of Fox-hounds would do well to follow every word of advice it contains. The author himself was M.F.H. and carried the horn at the beginning of the last century. A study of his remarkably sound treatise on Foxhunting leaves us with the reflection that the essentials of the sport have changed but slightly since the Battle of Waterloo. He speaks of the excessive preservation of game, of the difficulties of earthstopping, of the jealousy of the riders, in a tone which makes it difficult to believe that a hundred years have glided by since he gained his experience, while his advice on the management of hounds and country at once proclaim him master of a system approved by all recent authorities.

1p., 4to. Bifolium. Addressed with postmarks, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Mr. Simpson, | Clothiere, | St. Martin's Lane | London.' In fair condition, on aged paper. Docketted with Harcourt's dates. The letter reads: 'Sir, | Captain Sir Murray Maxwell having signified his intention of offering himself as a Candidate for Westminster at the ensuing Election; I shall be much obliged to you if you will give him Your Vote upon that occasion.' In the 1818 general election Maxwell (1775-1831) was defeated by less than 400 votes, losing to Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Francis Burdett. The campaign ruined him financially, and his health was permanently undermined after he was struck in the back in Covent Garden by a paving stone thrown from a mob opposed to his candidacy.
