Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hunting Field With Horse and Hound in America: The British Isles and France
Blessed be the thoughts and recollections That drive the ills and cares of life away, While they bring again serene re flections Of all the joys we had along the way.
Cross Country with Horse and Hound has proved a happy disappointment, especially to the author.
There being but few hunt clubs in America, it was argued that there were comparatively few who were personally interested in cross country riding to hounds; it was therefore With some misgivings that the book was brought to light. The effort, however, has received such hearty endorsement from the reading public in general, and has had such pleasant things said about it by the hunting fraternity in particular, both in England and America, that the writing of this second work has become doubly enjoyable. It may be said to have been undertaken in response to an encore.
Next to a cross country ride itself, comes the pleasure of living it over again with whoever has the ear for hearing it, and an imagination keen enough to supply what neither pen nor pencil is able to produce.
