Strana 214 - All hounds, (and more especially young ones) should be called over often in the kennel;* and most huntsmen practise this lesson, as they feed their hounds. - They flog them while they feed them — and if they have not always a belly-full one way, they seldom fail to have it the other.
Strana 258 - ... and lavish expenditure of the late master. It has been truly said, that what is worth doing at all is worth doing well. This is particularly applicable to a fox-hunting establishment, but I should be doing little service to the cause of the noble science were I to withhold my decided...
Strana 31 - ... the strongest stimulants to universal industry. This is one of the temporal rewards which God bestows upon social virtue. And, inasmuch as no one can enjoy this reward, simply by being virtuous himself, but only as his fellow citizens also are virtuous, we see the indication in our constitution, that it is the duty, as well as the interest of every man, to labor to render other men more virtuous.
Strana 1 - Studium sine divite vena, nee rude quid prosit video ingenium : alterius sic 410 altera poscit opem res et coniurat amice, qui studet optatam cursu contingere metam, multa tulit fecitque puer, sudavit et alsit, abstinuit venere et vino ; qui Pythia cantat tibicen, didicit prius extimuitque magistrum. nunc satis est dixisse ' ego mira poemata pango ; occupet extremum scabies ; mihi turpe relinqui est, et quod non didici sane nescire fateri.
Strana 120 - ... everywhere for them, but in vain. It being a fine afternoon, and having nothing to do, I walked across to the covert where we had run the fox to ground in the morning, to see if he had scratched his way out again, as some loose stones only had been thrown into the earth. Great, indeed, was my surprise, when I discovered old Pilgrim lying at the mouth of the pipe, having removed all the stones, and dug a hole nearly large enough to hold himself : greater still was my surprise, when upon listening...
Strana 6 - ... will fall into the main sewer. For a roof to the building I prefer thatch to tiles, as affording more warmth in winter and coolness in summer, but as slate tiles are more agreeable to the eye, a thin layer of reed placed under the tiles will answer the purpose. • Over the centre of the lodging...
Strana 14 - Ward's kennel. His hounds have a rough, flinty and woodland country to contend with, where they must hunt as well as run. In their performances they are like their master —second to none. They are not hallooed and hustled about by whippers-in, although the Squire is occasionally very cheery when things go well; and that happens so often, that I hardly ever saw a day with him when he was not cheery. His hounds, however, are left to do their work pretty much by themselves ; and I may venture to say...
Strana 6 - Over the centre of the lodging room should be a sleeping apartment for the feeder, which being raised above the level of the other roof, will break the monotony of its appearance. At the rear of the kennels should be the boiling house, feeding court, straw house, &c., for bitches.
Strana 118 - I have no doubt they enjoyed their " olium cum dignitate" as much as any old pensioners in Greenwich Hospital. With good living and no work, they certainly did become most extraordinary looking figures, very much resembling aldermen in appearance, and their very looks gave a flat contradiction to the recommendation of my friends, to put those " wretched old animals out of their misery.
Strana 291 - I am not often hurt." That was true enough, for no man had more falls without being hurt than himself. He was soon in the saddle, having held the rein in his hand, which most men who ride for a fall do. A brook being just then before us, he went down at it, a hundred miles an hour pace, with a sneering cheer to me — " Now come along, we are even again." I merely laughed at his bad humour, and was soon over alongside of him. He then rode up hill as hard as he could go, at some stiff posts and rails....
