Beckford wrote in a series of letters to a friend. A first whipper-in should be given the chance to hunt hounds occasionally and I quote: “I have always thought a huntsman a happy man; his office is pleasing, and at the same time flattering; we pay him for that which diverts him, and he is enriched by his greatest pleasure…………………”  Beckford is the keystone of the arch for the foxhunter’s library.  First published in 1781 – it still holds much relevance in the breeding, care and handling hounds in the hunting field today.
