Extracts From the Diary of a Huntsman e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book was published in the second year of the reign of Queen Victoria, and is the result of the experiences of a Master of Foxhounds mainly derived from hunting his own Hounds in the Craven Country, probably as difficult a country to kill a Fox in as any country in England. But Mr. Smith so closely studied the Science and so skilfully applied the Art of Foxhunting that he contrived to bring a Fox to hand on most days that he took his Hounds out. It would be inter esting to know how many huntsmen achieve this feat to-day. If any of them fall short of it, they cannot do better than read Mr. Smith's book, and try to find out how he did it.
