Excerpt from Old and the New English Country Life: The Country Clergy, the Country Gentlemen, the Farmers, the Peasantry, the Eighteenth Century The public has recently shown so lively a curiosity touching everything connected with English rural life, that I should probably have been tempted to try my fortune with these sketches, even had no other reason existed for giving them to the world in their present form, and under my own name. But I have been prompted to do so by another motive as well. Some parts of this volume are only the reproduction in other words, of thoughts.

Within this volume are found tips on pipe-smoking for discerning males, advice on gun dogs, rules about how to lay on the best shooting lunches (usually involving long trips to Fortnum and Mason's), detailed musings on tweed coats and caps, intense discussions on the correct ammo with which to take on a rogue elephant, and all you ever want to know about fishing tackle.

Excerpt from All About Country Life: Being a Dictionary of Rural Avocations, and of Knowledge Necessary to the Management of the Farm, the Stable, the Stockyard, and a Gentleman's Out of Town Residence and Property The important revolution in British farming that has formed so prominent a characteristic of the present century had commenced in drainage.
