Excerpt from The Noble Science: A Few General Ideas on Fox-Hunting, for the Use of the Rising Generation of Sportsmen, and More Especially Those
I feel that I shall not only be acquitted of flattery, but have the world with me when I say that, apart from the prestige attached to his illustrious position, to no one could this work be more aptly dedicated than to one who, in every hunting-field in which he has appeared, has shone pre-eminent, as in all sports and pursuits becoming English gentlemen, and I acknow ledge a just pride in the patronage of him who, with the whole Royal Family, has established claims, no less upon our affections than our loyalty.

I regret that it is not in my power to render it any way more attractive, than by favour of its readers it has hitherto been held.
