Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Famous Fox-Hunter: Reminiscences of the Late Thomas Assheton Smith, Esq. or the Pursuits of an English Country Gentleman It is many years since this book was written, and more than one generation of sportsmen has grown up since that time. I believe, however, that there are very few hunting men who have not heard of the prowess of Assheton Smith with hound and horn, and that all lovers of the chase will welcome a reprint of the Memoir of him by my father, the late Sir J. E. Eardley-Wilmot, Bart. The First Edition appeared when I was a school boy at Old Charter-house in the City, and I remember being sent to the office of the Sporting Magazine to copy out the verses on the celebrated Billesdon Coplow Run, and spending several hours at the work. Alas, the best part of half a century has passed since that day. In conclusion I may add that I was named after the subject of the Memoir.
