Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Surrey Fox Hounds: A History of the Hunt, From Its Earliest Days to the Present Time The reasons which have induced me to collect sufficient material, and to compile it in the form of a History of the Old Surrey Fox Hounds, may be briefly stated. They are, in effect, that, so far as I am aware, no previous attempt has been made in this direction, and that - in consequence of the inevitable and rapid expansion of the Metropolis bringing about (together with other causes) changes inimical to foxhunting near London - the passing of the "Old Surrey," as at present constituted, can only be a matter of time. It would be infinitely to be regretted if the annals of a Hunt which has supplied so much sporting history should be allowed to lapse without an effort being made to preserve some record of its long career; and with an ambition to fill this vacancy the following chapters have been prepared, with a due sense of their shortcomings.
