Excerpt from A History of the North Staffordshire Hounds and Country: 1825 to 1902A Preface generally appears to consist mainly of apologies and acknowledgments, and I do not think that mine will be an exception to the general rule. In the first place, I wish to offer a sincere apology for the shortcomings in this volume, of which I am only too well aware. I make no claim to literary ability, and can only plead that, having been quite unexpectedly honoured by the Duke of Sutherland' s request to undertake the history of the North Staffordshire Hunt, I have done my best to write an accurate account, and for the rest must throw myself on the kind indulgence of my readers. Two merits of a negative sort I think I may perhaps fairly claim: I have not run into two volumes, and I have "set down naught in malice."I have to thank many friends for kind help and information.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
