With Horse and Hound, from British Sport Past and Present (Classic Reprint)

Spor ve Outdoor

Beckford in 1787, is now Bbecome the amusement of gentlemen :nor need I any gentleman be ashamed of it. Time had been when fox-hunting and foxhunters lay under social ban. Lord Chesterfield kindly bore testimony to the good intentions of him who followed the hounds, but could say little else in his favour :in the days of Queen A nne a fox-hunter, in the esteem of some, meant a boor or something very like it; but the slighting significance attaching to the word must surely have become only a memory long ere Beckford wrote. There is, however, room for doubt whether fox-hunting in its early days was the amusement of others than gentlemen, and whether any such were ever ashamed of it. William the Third hunted with the Charlton inS ussex, inviting thither foreign visitors of distinction ;and Charlton continued to be theM elton of England in the days of Queen A nne and the two first Georges, for fox-hunting was the fashion. Harrier men maintain that their sport was reckoned the higher in these times ;but, I venture to think, harrier men are mistaken. Read this, dated 14th July 1730, from Sir Robert Walpole to theE arl of Carlisle :I am to acquaint your Lordship that upon the oldE stablishment of the Crown there have usually been aM aster of theB uckhounds and aM aster of the Harriers. The first is now enjoyed by Colonel Negus ;the latter is vacant, and if your Lordship thinks it more agreeable to be Master of the Foxhounds, the King has no objection to the style or name of Letters of Sir Robert Walpole, Hist. MSS. Comm.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
