Description
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.
