Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Northern Sport Sportsmen It is often alleged that the Nimrod of to-day prefers a short, sharp burst of twenty minutes over a nice jumping country to a long, slow hunt, full of hound work and echoing with music. There is some truth in the charge. The evolution which has brought about this disaffection for meandering has had its influence upon journalism. One of the arts of the scribe of to-day is the power of condensation. Be terse, be pithy, be brief, in short be anything but long-winded. Such is the prevailing cry in the face of which I am flying. I set out to write the history of the Hurworth Hunt, and, as I worked out the line, I found that the characters and events in the story embraced sportsmen and sport over almost the whole of the North. The chronicling of facts regarding both are essential to the completeness of the history of the pack and its personnel. So the book goes forth under the more comprehensive title of Northern Sport and Sportsmen. I have chosen this course rather than that of condensation, believing, in my conceit, that much in these pages will be found worthy of preservation, even though such matter is connected only by a slender thread with the history of the Hurworth Hunt, and will rather justify the title. Northern Sport and Sportsmen is issued in parts at a "popular" price for a dual reason. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
