The boards are badly rubbed, with part of the cover missing at the tail; the hinge damaged at the tail, leaving a very small section of the pages detached; there is an ownership signature on the front paste down and foxing throughout. Page 7 has a short, closed tear at the head. For the rest, the pages are clean and despite the damaged hinge the binding still very good. The booklet is undated , and checking for the publoishing date, most libraries had it at 1900, one at 1910. 31 pages, please check with us for an accurate postage cost. "When I had a bad fall in 1898 and was laid up a long time, I put a little book together of the notes I had made from my own observations and what I had learned from experience while hunting the hounds myself, and from the maxims of celebrated old huntsmen with whom I had the advantage of being acquainted. These notes are only intended as headings to draw the attention of young sportsmen to what they ought to know and what they ought not to forget." (first paragraph,) and this from the title page: "I want you to grow up good country gentlemen, doing your duty to your Sovereign, your country and neighbours, rich and poor, and fulfilling all the obligations of your station, and versed in all those pursuits and occupations which make a country life so pleasant and happy."
