Excerpt from Killing for Sport: Essays by Various Writers In a civilised community, where the services of the hunter are no longer required, blood sports are simply an anachronism, a relic of savagery which time will gradually remove; and the appeal against them is not to the interested parties whose practices are arraigned - not to the belated Nim rods who find a pleasure in killing - but to that force of public opinion which put down bear baiting, and which will in like manner put down the kindred sports (for all these barbarities are essentially akin) which are defended by similar sophistries.

Sport has always been a legitimate focus for human energy, and in the last fifteen years it has emerged as a legitimate focus for scholarly energy as well. In this interdisciplinary overview of the study of sport, sociology, intellectual history, psychology, anthropology, and literature are brought to bear in seeking new understanding of the role and significance of sport in society. Some of the conclusions will be controversial or even disturbing, and the breadth of the volume clearly demonstrates that sport history is not merely a hobby. As Jack W. Berryman notes in the introduction to the volume: "Each essay, in some distinctive manner, confronts the problem of general preconceptions and misconceptions in the study of sport history. The authors ask fundamental questions: what is sport, what is its significance over time, and how can sport be studied effectively?" Donald G. Kyle opens the questions with an examination of the myth of the decline of ancient Greek sport. Stephen Hardy proposes a new model for the interpretation of both early and modern sport. Steven A. Riess questions the historicity of the myth of social mobility through sport in America. Richard D. Mandell explains the history of theoretically profound and earnest modern criticism of sport. Allen Guttmann demythologizes the relationship between erotic impulses and sport. This serious and timely study of sport aids in the reevaluation of many popular beliefs and traditional scholarly interpretations concerning sport in various ages and cultures. It offers much of value to all those interested in contemplating the nature and history of the phenomenon of sport.

Excerpt from A Year of Sport and Natural History: Shooting, Hunting, Coursing, Falconry and Fishing, With Chapters on Birds of Prey, the Nidification of Birds and the Habits of British Wild Birds and Animals While superintending the literary department of Black and W/zz'te, I prevailed upon a number of competent writers on Sport and Natural History to deal week by week, the whole of one-year round, with these two topics. We called the series Field Sports and Field Studies, and as the writers knew their business and how to write upon it, the papers were exceedingly popular.

Excerpt from Natural History, Sport, and Travel On arrival in England after spending the best part of my life in the Bengal Civil Service, I was cautioned, on the risk of being voted a bore, never to mention India; and the proprietor of one of the leading journals, who for many years has taken great interest in literature connected with the east, on hearing that I proposed writing a book about India, warned me that I had no chance whatever in securing readers in England, unless I told my story briefly, and in the lightest possible style.

Excerpt from The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports, Vol. 3 If we examine the Opinions of men on this subject, we see at once how deeply wrong impressions have become rooted by pondering over the fictitious histories of the Beaver, - or more particularly being influenced, in early youth, by the fabulous stories of the animal, framed as truth, and admitted into the various seminaries of learn ing. Here we find the Beaver placed at the head of all inferior creatures for sagacity and intelligence, and eu dowed with intellectual qualities superior to many nations or tribes of human beings. This undoubtedly is error, and to overturn it must be the work of time and truth, by the introduction, into schools and families, of authentic histories of the animal. It is, however, no trifling undertaking, to establish truth on prejudicial error, or. Attack the writings of the learned and eloquent, which have filled the world With theories or false statements, wrought up by ingenuity to almost sublimity.
