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.

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.

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.

Russian Life in the Interior by Ivan Tourghenieff Pdf

Excerpt from Russian Life in the Interior: Or the Experiences of a Sportsman We then went to Khor's. This man lived in the large clearing of a thick forest, and occupied a good farm house, built of fir, with all the usual appurtenances of out-houses, yards, cart-houses, stables, and wells. In front of the dwelling-house was a long flight of steps covered in, and sustained by four elegant little pillars.

Reminiscences of a Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by Joel Parker Whitney Pdf

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.

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.

The Life of a Great Sportsman (John Maunsell Richardson) (Classic Reprint) by Mary E. Richardson Pdf

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.

Annals of a Sportsman (Classic Reprint) by Ivan Turgénieff Pdf

Excerpt from Annals of a Sportsman The thought that inspired this composition is worthy of praise. The Reez't: d'un C/zasseur are destined chie y to de pict to us the interesting population which, to the shame of our century, is in Russia still groaning under the odious yoke of serfdom. Little country lordlings indeed figure in the stories; but they are placed in the background, and all interest is centred on the men who live under them. Every one will doubtless applaud the courage of the writer, who, under the suspicious regime then in all its vigor in Russia, did not fear to consecrate his pen to such an enter prise. Before him no one had dared to attempt it; the world in the midst of which he introduces us was a region unknown to Russian literature.

A Sportsman's Wanderings (Classic Reprint) by J. G. Millais Pdf

Excerpt from A Sportsman's Wanderings This book describes incidents of my own life and in the lives of others I have known; travels in search of big game and Natural History; letters Of strange interest by all kinds of men living in many lands; sidelights on the Great War, in fact a conglomeration Of anything in life that might prove of interest to men and women who move about and do things a little out of the ordinary ruck. They have been set down rather as the Spirit moved me to write, and if somewhat disjointed, I trust they will appeal to other rovers like myself. If variety is the Spice of life, perhaps even such tales as these may find their readers amongst those who have followed the Open road.

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.
