This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on fox hunting, being an exposition of its science with information on kennel management, breeding hounds, and much more. With a wealth of invaluable information and many helpful tips, this volume is highly recommended for the modern rural sportsman and would make for a worthy addition to collections of hunting literature. Contents include: "The Arena of Breeding Foxhounds", "Quality to be Regarded before Quantity", "Sires and Dams of Approved Characters", "Breeding Judiciously versus Breeding Extensively", "Jasper a Case in Point", Huntsman and Whipper-in", "General Want of Harmony Between them as to the Occult Science", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.
