Excerpt from Hounds, Their Breeding and Kennel Management Since the days of that well-known authority, Peter Beckford, but few books have been published confined entirely to Hounds and Hunting. Beckford's Thoughts Upon Hunting, published about the year 1782, is still looked upon as the best authority on hunting matters, and all books dealing with this subject contain many quotations from his work. The practical advice contained therein was the outcome of a mind that knew his subject thoroughly, and as long as hunting continues his name will be a household word amongst hunting men. As a great lover Of hounds and everything connected with hunting, I have ventured to write these few chapters, and it has been my endeavour to give those who should chance to read my little volume the result Of my experience, and as the greater part was written far away from any books of reference, I have been unable to give extracts from other sources.
