Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the British Turf, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Period to the Present Day
Certain it is, that whenever danger from with out, or the attempts of anarchists at home, have threatened this country, since the expulsion of James II, the yeomanry have never failed to throng to the national standard, under the guid ance of our nobility and landed gentry; and nothing can exceed the courage and good under standing with which both classes have acted on such occasions.
But it is not only in this sense that the national character is benefited. Our upper and middle classes, shunning the frivolous pursuits Of the effeminate nobility of the continent, and following manly exercises in the fresh air of their native plains, hills and woods, invigorating both their minds and bodies; while their Offspring, partaking these effects, grow up bold and vigorous, for the defence of their country, both by sea and land, and fitted for all the active and laborious pursuits Of life.
