A Sportsman at Large (Classic Reprint) by Harding Edward De Fonglanque Cox Pdf

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.

The Life of a Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by Nimrod Nimrod Pdf

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.

A Sportsman's Memories (Classic Reprint) by Edward Roper Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Memories While, of course, the primary work of his life was a superb devotion to the game of cricket, yet this book of his own reminiscences will easily show that there were a score of other outlets for his ready tact, his gay wisdom, and his iron rule of doing the square, sporting thing all the time. Does this make it the easier, or the harder, to write, in due proportion, an introductory preface? I am far from sure.

A Sportsman's Eden (Classic Reprint) by Clive Phillipps-Wolley Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Eden It was at the end of the last London season that our little party got together and booked for Montreal by the Dominion Line. The tennis lawns of Montgomeryshire had grown brown and dry, and drier and more parched were the bodies and brains of the husbands and brothers in London, to whom certain Montgomeryshire ladies suggested an autumn in Canada.

King Edward VII. As a Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by Alfred E. T. Watson Pdf

Excerpt from King Edward VII. As a Sportsman The natural idea of a volume on King Edward VII. As a Sportsman occurred to Messrs. Longman early in the year 1910. To obtain His Majesty's gracious permission was, of course, the first step, and this he was pleased to accord, condescending to suggest where certain material might be obtained, and to approve of the work being given into my hands. Only a little progress had been made when the King's deeply lamented death - how far this is from any conventional expression of grief need not be emphasised - threw his subjects into mourning and caused heartfelt distress far beyond the limits of his rule.

Forty Years of a Sportsman's Life (Classic Reprint) by Claude Champion De Crespigny Pdf

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. A portion of the former book, which deals with my earlier experiences, has naturally been retained, but, with the assistance of Mr. Harold Simpson, it has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date, and I have added another fourteen years of sport and adventure by land, sea, and air. If any apology is needed, I ofier it here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reminiscences of an Old Sportsman, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by John Potter Hamilton Pdf

Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Old Sportsman, Vol. 1 of 2 On those subjects which I cannot altogether treat from experience, such as falconry, hawking, and deer stalking, I have consulted several old works, more especially Blome, who wrote in the latter end of the seventeenth century, and also standard modern works. I am likewise indebted for much useful information and anecdote to some of my sporting friends, amongst whom I may class General Shaw Kennedy, who practised hawking in Ayrshire, many years ago, when a considerable part of that county was unen closed.

A Sportsman of Limited Income by J. A. Bridges Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman of Limited Income: Recollections of Fifty Years A true sportsman, directly he gets to a place, will set to work at something, if only at clearing out the rats. Wherever he goes he will make the best of things, and by following Horace's advice to this effect he will not only find some measure Of happiness himself, but will also help those who, but for his example, might have found their lives unbearable burdens. He will be a staunch friend, but should friends fail him, his enemies Should be made to contribute to his enjoyment, and the more the meaner they are.

My Life as Soldier and Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by J. Robson Scott Pdf

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.

A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Ivan Turgenev Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Sketches, Vol. 2 Give me your hand, gentle reader, and come along with me. It is glorious weather; there is a tender blue in the May sky; the smooth young leaves of the willows glisten as though they had been polished; the wide even road is all covered with that delicate grass with the little reddish stalk that the sheep are so fond of nibbling; to right and to left, over the long sloping hillsides, the green rye is softly waving; the shadows of small clouds glide in thin long streaks over it. In the distance is the dark mass of forests, the glitter of ponds, yellow patches of village; larks in hundreds are soaring, singing, falling headlong with outstretched necks, hopping about the clods; the crows on the highroad stand still, look at you, peck at the earth, let you drive close up, and with two hops lazily move aside. On a hill beyond a ravine a peasant is ploughing; a piebald colt, with a cropped tail and ruffled mane, is running on unsteady legs after its mother; its shrill whinnying reaches us.
