Samenvatting:

This vintage book contains an extensive account of Irish hunting from 1876-77. With details of notable packs, figures, and events, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history of Irish hunting, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Rehearsals", "Harriers and Hare-Hinting", "Their Popularity in Ireland", "The Duke of Connaught in the field", "Cubs and Cubbing", "Gaps in the hunting Circle", "A Visit to Ashbourne", "Lever du Rideax in Meath", "Kells", "Headfort", "Fast thing from Shaucarn", "Bellinter and its Beauties", "Summerhill", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. Originally published in 1878, we are now republishing this volume in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on deer stalking and hunting.
