Excerpt from Records of the Old Charlton Hunt
IN a deed box at Goodwood there has lain, undisturbed for many years, a bundle of old papers and letters, tattered and discoloured with age, and in some cases almost illegible, but possessing for myself a most absorbing interest, for they represent all that remains to chronicle the forgotten glories of the old Charlton Hunt. And though I feel that the matter contained in them must be of greater interest to local sportsmen than to the hunting world in general, yet I have been tempted to reproduce them as nearly as possible word for word with the originals; for it seemed to me, as I struggled with the queer crabbed writing of the old yellow manuscripts, that the quaint Spelling and phraseology would surely have some degree of fascination for hunting men of the present day, many Of whom would find constant mention of their forbears throughout these pages.
But had it not been for the assistance given me in my researches by a most excellent and concise little pamphlet entitled Charlton and the Charlton Hunt,' published some years ago by Mr. T. I. Bennett, my task would have been much harder; and so, bearing this in mind, I place the said pamphlet before the reader first of all, forming as it does a key to much that follows.
