Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Course, the Camp, the Chase A Country that has no history is said to be a happy one. A woman "with a past" does not consider it a subject of congratulation. Lucky man is, however, more fortunate, and may consider that a compliment lies hid in the request that he should write a history of his past life, since the scenes in which he has played his part may be supposed to contain sufficient interest to bear description for the amusement of others. There is another side of the question, however, which is scarcely so flattering, for such a request also implies that the active part of a man's life may be deemed to lie behind him, and that for the future he must be content to read of the achievements of younger men, instead of sharing in them as in the days of yore. There is one merit that I can claim for the anecdotes related in this book; this is that they are absolutely true, and care has been taken to check the incidents by referring to diaries and old letters, where memory might have unintentionally proved inaccurate. It is a record of life, as I have known it, for nearly fifty years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
