Arrian on Coursing (Classic Reprint)

The following version does not aim at pleasing the mere literary man. It was not undertaken with the ambitious ezpectatio Dof being generally acceptable. It is addressed to the couTB ing public alone to the amateurs of the leash; for whom the original was written, seventeen centuries ago, by their representative of old, a courser of Nicomedia in Asia Minor; and for whose amusement and instruction the same now assumes an English garb. The general reader will find little in it to interest him. He will perhaps consider it altogether unworthy of his notice. The sportsman, fond of I ha muiici Jloafusioii Of hotutd Uld ccbo in conjunclioii, will read it with indifference, as treating of a branch of rural sport, not congenial to hie taete; and wonder that an attempt should be made to bring under public notice so ancient a treatise on a subject of such partial interest.
