Excerpt from A Hunting Catechism This little Catechism on Hunting is intended for the use of beginners, like its predecessors on Fishing and Shooting, and was suggested by the instructions given to my own children from past experience. That experience has been a wide one. Just forty-one years ago, at the age of nineteen, I joined the Rifle Brigade, and bought my first horse for a very modest sum; and I have never been without a horse since that time. An allowance of 200 per annum, in addition to a subaltern s pay, out of which all regimental subscriptions to mess and band funds had to be paid, besides travelling expenses, and the cost of keeping up an expensive uniform, with private clothes, did not afford much margin for buying a horse and then keeping it. I did not therefore venture on the expense of a groom, but essayed to manage for the horse myself, with the assistance of my soldier servant, whose only qualification for the task was that he had been in the Camel Corps in the Indian Mutiny! No sooner did the horse arrive than we were in difficulties at once, and I found the one of us knew about as much, or rather as little, as the other. However, we managed somehow, and the pleasure I got out of my horse was immense. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
