Excerpt from Foxes, Foxhounds and Fox-Hunting Whether it be for better or worse we cannot tell, for hunting goes on despite the advent of the motor car, the rush of traffic, and the glass-like surface of the roads. It takes a lot to prevent a keen hunting man from following his favourite pursuit, and so despite the wire, the petrol fumes, and all the rest of it, big fields still forgather at every meet of hounds.

Thomas Assheton Smith (1776-1858) was one of the best known Master of Hounds of his day, continuing to hunt until the end of his long life. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford and on leaving the latter was able to devote his energies to fox-hunting. In 1806 he succeeded Lord Foley as Master of the Quorn in Leicestershire over which he reigned until 1816 and from 1816-23 was Master of the Burton Hounds in Lincolnshire. He then hunted with the Craven and New Forest and in 1826 returned to his native Hampshire where he established a pack and began hunting in the country vicinity of Andover. Following the death of his father in 1828 he became squire of Tedworth, taking over Tedworth Hall which he restored and enlarged, and from that date the future of the Tedworth Hunt was assured. Upon his death his widow presented his hounds to the country. This book was first published in 1843 and is reprinted from an edition of 1920. Illustrated throughout.

Excerpt from The Life of a Fox: Written by Himself No Master of Foxhounds, alive or dead, has a greater right to be heard than Mr. Thomas Smith. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and though it is not altogether true that the proof of the ability to show sport is the number of Foxes noses on the kennel door, the fact that Mr. Smith killed ninety Foxes in ninety-one days hunting in a Country which has no great reputation as a scenting country, is a piece of evidence in favour of his knowledge of woodcraft, and of his skill in applying it, which cannot be gainsaid, the more particularly when we take into account the epoch during which this remarkable feat was achieved. It is true that Mr. Smith hunted Hounds when the modern system of getting away close behind the Fox, and trying to burst him, had superseded the system that prevailed before 1750 of dragging up to the Fox and trying to hunt him down at the end of a long chase with Hounds that would have been beaten for pace in the first mile by those of Mr. Osbaldiston and Mr. Smith. But much of the contemporary evidence goes to show that Foxes were wilder in Mr. Smiths time in the sense that they probably had to travel long distances for their food, as there were fewer small coverts than exist to-day. Consequently there were fewer Foxes. It is true that these conditions were favourable to the Hounds in that their chance of changing Foxes was diminished. On the other hand the multiplication of small Fox coverts with artificial earths that has proceeded in the last fifty years makes the killing of a lot of Foxes, especially during the Cub-hunting, an easier matter than in the days of Mr. Thomas Smith.

Excerpt from Fox Hunting in America The colony in Virginia, founded at Jamestown in 1607, was almost swept away by the great massacre in 1622, and for a year thereafter the colonists lived within stockades, never daring to wander beyond sight of a primitive fort. There is no record that fox hounds existed in the colony at that time and. Indeed, the records of the Virginia Com pany from 1619 to 1624 contained no mention of foxes, or hounds, or of hunting.

Excerpt from Fox-Hunting: As Recorded by Raed Grandmother's fair, broad, pleasant countenance was in the door. To do her justice, she pretty nearly filled it, as I dimly perceived through frosty eye-lashes. Grandfather, with white hair, but blue eyes, came sturdily out to take the team. Kit led the way; and we all made a rush through to the sitting-room, where, in a fireplace that might have sufficed for Valhalla, there amed and roared a bonfire fit to celebrate the presidential election. We charged up to it; but the hot blast against our faces arrested us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
