thoughts on hunting in a series of familiar letters to a friend

Book cover
A classic piece of literature of the hunt. The book was written by Peter Beckford, and offered a detailed account, first in English literature, of the whole system of the sport of hunting. From the Preface: AS the Author of the following Letters has been charged with inhumanity, and yet conjectured to be a Clergyman, it is now become necessary to publish his name : and, though it may not be usual to answer an anonymous writer, 1 yet, as it is not impossible that some readers may have adopted his sentiments, this consideration, and this alone, induces the Author to answer the objections which the critic hath so wantonly made. Whatever may be the imperfection of these Letters, the Author is desirous that it should fall, as it ought, upon himself only. The objections, which he thinks were unnecessarily made, he has endeavored to remove.
