Synopsis
Excerpt from Hunting, Racing and Polo Things and How to Clean Them: Edited With Drawings and Notes on the Singular Usage of Things Connected With Hunting
What further need, then, have I to argue that Mr Dale's own words, as put forth in this little book, may be taken for gospel? I have purposely allowed the text to run as close as possible to the wording and construction of the author's ms., for I knew it to be a genuine production from begin ning to end; and it is written in a simple and respectful fashion, in such a way that will please, I feel certain, all who take it up to read.
