Book Extract; IT SEEMS to be odd, at first sight, that thereshould be any such men as these; but theirname and number is legion. If we were todeduct from the hunting-crowd farmers, andothers who hunt because hunting is brought to theirdoor, of the remainder we should find that the "menwho don't like it" have the preponderance. It ispretty much the same, I think, with all amuse-ments. How many men go to balls, to races, to thetheatre, how many women to concerts and races,simply because it is the thing to do? They haveperhaps, a vague idea that they may ultimately findsome joy in the pastime; but, though they do thething constantly, they never like it. Of all such menthe hunting men are perhaps the most to be pitied.They are easily recognized by any one who caresto scrutinize the men around him in the hunting-field. It is not to be supposed that all those who, incommon parlance, do not ride, are to be includedamong the number of hunting men who don't likeit. Many a man who sticks constantly to the roadsand lines of gates, - who, from principle, never looksat a fence, is much attached to hunting. Some of, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Acceptable.
