Excerpt from The Quorndon Hounds: Or, a Virginian at Melton Mowbray The aim and object of this little volume is to lay before my sporting friends and the public in general, to whom I have so often discoursed - and with so kindly hearers - concerning the Field Sports of America, a slight sketch of English Fox-hunting the Sport of sports, par excellence, and that sport carried to its acme as it is no where but with the Quorndon hounds and at Melton Mowbray.
