Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on Sporting, Vol. 1 In fact, with regard to Fox-hunting, another reason might be adduced why something more is necessary to its illustration: the system of the chase is entirely changed; and that sport, which our ancestors would have called brilliant, is now termed dull and insipid. New times have introduced different fashions, and it appears a remarkable, but is at the same time a very accurate coincidence, that, accordingly as a man lives, so must his hounds be bred: speed is thus become the criterion of perfection; and I am sorry to say there are very few indeed, who, with this qualification, ever possess any real bottom.
