Item description from seller

2nd printing 1843 in ruled pine green textured cloth covered boards with crossed fox brushes on center of frt board, bright gilt title spine and ruled borders at each lightly bumped end. Some light flaking of color on covers. Tips fairly sharp, lightly bumped and barely brushed. No names, tears or soil, hinges fine, pages crisp, one tissue-guarded plate loose and laid in without damage, else no fault. Robert Smith Surtees (1803-1864) was an English editor, novelist and sporting writer. Educated to be a solicitor, Surtees soon began to contribute to the Sporting Magazine, and in 1831 he published a treatise on the law relating to horses and particularly the law of warranty, entitled The Horseman's Manual. In the following year he helped to found the 'New Sporting Magazine'. To this periodical he contributed between 1832 and 1834 the papers which were afterwards collected and published as 'Jorrocks's Jaunts and Jollities'. This humorous narrative of the sporting experiences of a cockney grocer.
