Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Sports and Sportsmen: Or the Willey Country
Since the old Forest Periods, and since old Squire Forester's day even, the manners and the customs of the nation have changed; but the old love of sport discoverable in our ancestors, and inherited more or less by them from theirs, remains as a link connecting past generations with the present.
It matters not, it appears to me, whether either the writer or the reader indulges himself in such sports or not, he may be equally willing to recall the Olden Time, with its instances of rough and ready pluck and daring, and to listen to an old song, made by an aged pate.
