Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Covert-Side Sketches: Or Thoughts on Hunting Suggested by Many Days in Many Countries With Fox, Deer, and Hare
Depend upon it that the deep-set eye, thin nostril, and arched brow are not to be baulked of excitement. The possessors of these - I may say gifts - live and are formed for excitement. If not satiated in one way, and that an innocent, manly, and useful one, your boys may take to the gaming-table, or to an excess of feasting, rioting, or debauchery. Excitement they must have or die. Let them, therefore, become bold riders, cunning hunters, rifiemen of the woods. Inure them to toil while they are young, and a green Old age shall reward them for their choice, and they shall be thankful to you for your encourage ment and advice.
