Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Great Sportsman (John Maunsell Richardson) Personally I am one of those few, and have always studied my preface ever since I was able to read any work to which the author had written such introduction. But in my case there is a special, perhaps some would call it a sentimental, reason for this practice. I was only two years old when my father died, my brother Maunsell, the subject of the following life-story, one year older, and our eldest brother four years old. We never had, therefore, the benefit of his fatherly advice during our Childhood, which, from all accounts, and from the respected and beloved name he left behind him, would undoubtedly have been to our immense advantage. Our mother and grandmother, however, with whom we lived, and who superintended our upbringing, had been devoted to him during his lifetime, and after his untimely death at thirty-eight, Cherishing his memory, as they did, above all things, were never tired of impressing us with any special admonition in regard to our conduct or studies to which my father had given expression.
