Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sporting Sketches: Some and Abroad The following Sketches have already for the most part appeared in the columns of The Field newspaper; the one entitled "Lost in the Bush," in the Intellectual Observer. By the kindness of the editors of that newspaper and journal, the author has now gathered them together into a volume, and presents them to his friends as old acquaintances. He thinks it right to observe, that every chapter in this book is strictly matter of fact, except the sketches entitled "My First Steeple Chaser," "The Trotter," "The Jibber," "The Best Fourteen Hander in England," and "The Poacher;" in which - (although events took place much as read, and in which every character is drawn from life) - the author has, for obvious reasons, deemed himself justified in mystifying names and localities, and colouring plain facts.
