A SERIES OF OUTDOOR SKETCHES OF SPORT, George BY G. CHRISTOPHER DAVIES WITH 16 ILLUSTRATIONS BY BOSWORTH W. HARCOURT ме SECOND EDITION HENRY S. KING & Co. 65 CORNHILL & 12 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON 1874 PREFACE MANY of the articles contained in this little volume originally appeared in the "Field" and some Magazines, to the several proprietors of which I am indebted for permission to republish my sketches. I take this opportunity of acknowledging the unvarying kindness and courtesy of the Editor of the "Field” to me during my literary connection with that paper. " The four caricature vignettes are from the pencil of Mr. W. H. Woods, of Merton, Thetford, whose keen perception of the ludicrous and capacity for "taking a rise" out of any one are well known to his friends. SEPTEMBER, 1873. |
