Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Men We Meet in the Field
In placing men WE meet IN the field before the public, beyond acknowledging that I have perhaps not done full justice to the subject, I offer no apology for anything said or done, painted or written, that serves in any way to call attention to our glorious old national sport, or to recall perchance the scenes of our youth, is not done amiss. In that it is one more stone, however humble, in the wall of defence which, alas! It is now becoming necessary to build against the attacks of those whose aim seems to be the demolition of all sport, dazzled as they are by the glamour of notoriety, won by sensational legislation, at the expense of all that has made England what she is, and her sons and daughters what they are.
