author was a well known hunting man of his day, who also wrote
several other well received hunting titles, and contributed many
articles to the sporting press of that era. "Hunting Reminiscences"
has two hundred and eighty eight pages containing nine entertaining
chapters: - Reminiscences of the Cambridge Drag and the House of
Commons Steeple Chases. - The Life of a Hunter. - Hounds. - Hare
Hunting. - Fox Hunting. (two chapters) - Cub Hunting. - The
Greatest Run I ever saw. - Badger Hunting with Hound and Terrier.

assured by hunting him) The book was written in the Golden Age of
Hunting and will remain a lasting tribute to this popular sport.
