A FAMOUS FOX-HUNTER: REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE THOMAS ASSHETON SMITH, ESQ, OR, THE PURSUITS OF AN ENGLISH COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.

Notes:
"After the death of Mr. Assheton Smith, his Widow entertained a strong desire to rescue his character from the reflections which had been cast upon it by one of the leading journals. Feeling that justice had not been done him, she requested the author, who may rather be called the compiler, of the following narrative, to draw up a memoir". An extensive and detailed sporting biography drawn chiefly from articles published in the Field during Assheton Smith's lifetime and the anecdotes of friends.
