Sport

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on English country sports in the nineteenth century, being at once a defence, justification, exposition of ignorance, and condemnation of opponents. Informative and thought-provoking, this volume offers an insight into historical hunting in England, and will appeal to modern readers with an interest in rural sports. Contents include: 'Fox-Hunting', 'Salmon-Fishing', 'Deer-Stalking', 'Bryce's Bill', 'The Real', and 'The Artificial'. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. This volume is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
