"One hundred and fifty years ago pessimists forecast, with the advent of railways and the industrial revolution, that foxhunting would be doomed within a generation. Today, despite problems of land, traffic, wire, motorways and hostility from a small but vociferous section of the public, foxhunting is thriving as never before, even though some hunts are being forced to amalgamate to keep down costs". Sporting author Tony Jackson, Editor of Shooting Times and Country Magazine at the time of publication gives his views of the pursuit, illustrated with numerous engraving drawings by Alison Guest. This edition came out in two issues, an ordinary hardback in a dust-wrapper, and this higher quality issue which has an illustration tipped to the upper board, and a slip-case. This particular copy contains no indication of a limitation, although it is signed by both author and artist.
