This vintage book, first published in 1879, contains a timeless guide to hunting.

Contents include: "The Popularity of the Chase at the Present Time", "On the National Utility of Hunting as Compared with Other Sports", "The Antiquity of Hunting", "The Animals Pursued in England at the Present Day", "Fox-Hunting-The Fox", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
