Excerpt from Sporting Sketches: Being Recollections and Reflections on a Variety of Subjects Connected With Sport Horses and Horsemen, Never Before Published
When a man commences to write a book, sporting or otherwise, he ought to have an object in View. I have two objects in View. The first is to please a generous public who have encouraged me along the path I have chosen the second, to endeavour to show, however inadequately, that the sportsman in pursuit of his pleasures gets far more than he bargains for.
The racing man may find his pleasures enhanced by the surroundings a bountiful Nature has provided. The angler has many pleasures apart from his sport. The sportsman, out for a quiet week's shooting.
