Synopsis
Excerpt from Annals of the Billesdon Hunt, Mr. Fernie's 1856-1913: Notable Runs and Incidents of the Chase, Prominent Members, Celebrated Hunters and Hounds, Amusing Stories and Anecdotes
The non-existence of any such record must be held primarily responsible for my temerity in launching this frail bark upon the waters it is unnecessary to emphasize that its cargo aspires neither to literary skill, still less to be regarded as an oracle in relation to the noble sport to which it is devoted. Should it serve to while away an odd half hour, possibly it may thereby justify its existence.

Some people might find it difficult to understand how there could be a close connection between hunting and the life of a Christian clergyman. He would be a bold man who would argue that hunting was so cruel that it was absolutely wrong. Many people would quite sincerely say that out of the cost of a short anxiety and strain, the fox won a protection which otherwise he would not enjoy for his own form of racy and characteristic country life.
