This guide to fox hunting dates from the early 20th century, and contains advice on treatment of horses, etiquette towards fellow hunters, and best practice in the field. Written by a Major of the Worcestershire regiment in England, this introductory primer is one of quality in spite of its brevity. The reader is given a series of quick-fire tips and pointers on how to properly conduct a fox-hunt. The customs and manners required of a good hunter and the methods of putting a hunting horse and hounds at ease are given. By following the guidance herein, the fox-hunter will increase the likelihood of success, and find respect among one's fellow hunters. At the time this book was first published in 1911, fox-hunting was a popular sport in the rural provinces of England. Although the practice never gained as much favor elsewhere, books such as this were intended as an introduction for readers across the English-speaking world. Today fox-hunting is controversial; proponents note its importance in country heritage and in pest control for farmers, while opponents consider the sport an example of animal cruelty.
