Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Sportsman MY design and object in writing this work was not merely to depict the life of a sportsman, in the general - perhaps, with some persons, unfavourable - acceptation of that term, but, taking higher ground, to portray the character of an English gentleman attached to the sports and pastimes of his country; and, likewise, to give a sketch of a country gentleman's family, in as close imitation as pos sible of those of the best description, with which it has been my good fortune to become acquainted. In fact, in many instances, the imitation, or resemblance, is so close, as not to be doubtful to many as to who are the original parties; and they themselves cannot be displeased with my selection, when they are intended to be displayed as examplars worthy of being followed by others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life as Soldier and Sportsman When a mere layman writes a book it is customary for him to inscribe a preface or, as Izaak Walton would say, an "epistle" to the readers. My original idea was to write and have printed a few personal reminiscences of the days and weeks I have spent in various sports, for the young folks who may come after me; in fact, I contemplated writing a sort of boys' book. However, it came to pass that I met, and discussed the subject with, Mr Arthur F. Meyrick who, like myself, is getting on in years. He is a most enthusiastic student of racing and other sports, and in addition to suggesting that I should write a larger volume, on more general subjects, he volunteered to contribute to my book by supplying details of the Grand National from Lottery to Troytown. Gradually, as the copy grew, so did the number of new ideas. Thus it came about that causeries on other sports suggested themselves to me. When a young man, Mr Meyrick followed in the footsteps of his father in the journalistic world, and knew most of the celebrities of his time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of a Sportsman's Life Some fourteen years ago I published a volume of memoirs, in the compiling of which I had the kind assistance of the Duke of Beaufort and Mr. G. A. B. Dewar. It having been suggested to me that I have run through a good many experiences since then, I have been tempted to venture into print once more, and the result is the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Sportsman Some time ago I was induced at the request of a friend who had charge of a Sporting Review to write some articles for his paper. These were continued longer than I had originally contemplated, and I give them with some additions in this volume. From youth I have been very fond of out-door life, and sports of all kinds, and although for many years engaged extensively in business affairs, I have never failed in giving way for these pursuits. Often such indulgence was seemingly to my disadvantage, but after half a century of gratification in this respect, I am well satisfied in believing I have no occasion for regret, for one cannot be deprived of enjoyments once possessed. I may add, that in pursuit of adventure, I have gained some important pecuniary advantages from Opportunities offering.

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Great Sportsman (John Maunsell Richardson) Personally I am one of those few, and have always studied my preface ever since I was able to read any work to which the author had written such introduction. But in my case there is a special, perhaps some would call it a sentimental, reason for this practice. I was only two years old when my father died, my brother Maunsell, the subject of the following life-story, one year older, and our eldest brother four years old. We never had, therefore, the benefit of his fatherly advice during our Childhood, which, from all accounts, and from the respected and beloved name he left behind him, would undoubtedly have been to our immense advantage. Our mother and grandmother, however, with whom we lived, and who superintended our upbringing, had been devoted to him during his lifetime, and after his untimely death at thirty-eight, Cherishing his memory, as they did, above all things, were never tired of impressing us with any special admonition in regard to our conduct or studies to which my father had given expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How I Became a Sportsman: Being Early Reminiscences of a Veteran Sportsman IN venturing to place before the public this little work, the author does not for one moment attempt to claim for it anything more than an endeavour to give a hint to the embryo, or perhaps to amuse the more mature or declining, sportsman. As the title expresses, these reminis cences are the author's early experiences only, and must not therefore be expected to throw very much daylight on the subjects treated of. Nor must the reader expect any learned advice or dissertations on sport in general; still at times a point or two will crop up which the author considers to be crucial ones in making a good, bad, or indifferent sportsman, particularly in What relates to the gun.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sportsman at Large Racing but my chief activities with fur, feather and fin have been set forth herein. I can only hope and trust that such rambling reminiscences as have been conjured up by sweet and bitter memories, will serve to cause some slight interest and amusement to those readers who patronize these pages; albeit I shall deem myself exceedingly lucky if I escape a charge of monotony and reiteration, pitfalls which have beset me constantly whilst stringing together a story which is no story at all, but simply a bunch of incidents depicted in fantastic mono chrome. The shooting of bird or beast the hooking, playing and landing of a fish the details of a coursing thrill, and the excitements of a bumping race, afford the author very few materials with which to elaborate his colour scheme for the reason that each and all of these ventures - in their respective spheres - bear a striking family likeness to one another.. Such as they are, here they are. I can only beg for the same kindly indulgence that has been meted out to my other modest ventures with the pen.
