Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Foxhunter It may be asked, Who wants to hunt in the suburbs of any large and Of course there can be only one answer to such a question; but none the less it is a fact that many once good hunting countries have been curtailed owing to the extension of suburban districts. The result of this extension has been that all sorts of people have migrated from the inner to the extreme outer circles of London and of all large provincial towns, and have in their new abodes found themselves within reasonable touch of hunting. Many of these migrants, of course, are in no wise concerned when they happen to see hounds or hunting folk on the road; but others have been attracted, at first probably by the panoply of the chase, and afterwards by the sport itself.
