Condizione sovraccoperta: dj. First Edition. First impression. Octavo. Red cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xx,[1]-139pp. Tight, clean, straight copy, Very Good or better. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced 10s. 6d. net on front flap), complete but toned on spine panel with general overall rubbing and soil, just VG. An attempt to solve the "age-old problem of scent" among foxhunters (this cataloguer, for one, can smell them a mile away) and to "work out a perfectly simple instrument which will tell the hunting man exactly the percentage of chances of scent on any day at any time." Pollard, in addition to being an avid huntsman, was a British Special Operations officer, an early member of MI6, and the author of numerous works on small arms, a subject in which he was a recognized expert. In reviewing Pollard's colorful if rather dubious career, it occurs to us that being smelt ought to have been fairly low on his list of worries: during the Irish War he conducted two legendarily byzantine and ultimately bungled false flag campaigns against the Nationalists; some years afterwards, in the Spanish Civil War, taking the side of the Fascists, he served as Franco's personal courier and later defended the bombing of Guernica as "a perfectly legitimate target." Stench enough there to put an entire county's worth of vulpine citizens on high alert.

[For Private Circulation only] Unpublished poem, four pages, 8vo, not bound, sl. water affected ow good condition, fourteen verses on three pages. First verse; "You may boast of your spins over Aylesbury Vale; | You may brag of your gallops from Ranksboro' gorse; | Of your Greatwood or Waterloo tell a fine tale; | Of your deeds in the shires you may talk yourselves hoars: | They are well in their way: but we all of us say | There is nothing can equal our Darrigle Day". Last Verse: "This fair day was o'ershadow'd by one only cloud -| Her [italic] absence, whose name's only uttered to bless | Whose presence is sunshine. May the Bard be allowed | For this once, to call her our dear Marchioness; | For we all of us say, she's the one missing ray | Was wanting to brighten our Darrigle Day." In between these verses is described a racy fox-hunt. This leaflet was extracted from an album put together a by a Wellesley Paget, RHA.No other copy traced; nor publication.

The present item is excessively scarce: there is no record of it on either OCLC WorldCat or JISC. The Staff College Drag Hunt at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, was established in 1869 as a private pack which drag-hunted twice a week in the area surrounding Camberley, and after more than a hundred and fifty years, the hunt still rides. 1p, 12mo. Text enclosed in rules with decorative corners. In fair condition, lightly worn and spotted, with traces of stub and mounting on blank reverse. Titled: 'The Staff College Drag Hunt Song. / By Major M. Churchill, 2/Northampton Regiment, / Master, S.C.D.H., 1885-86, / Music from Mr. F. Cotton's "Forty Minutes." ' Seven numbered four-line stanzas and the following chorus: 'Then let us drink drag-hunting boys, and pass the bottle round, / Drink to the horse, the fox of course, a bumper to the hound; / And let us toast our farmers as a right good jolly sort, / When you haven't time for hunting then, the Drag is rattling sport.' First stanza: 'The gallant steed by nature made companion for the hound, / Will give us great enjoyment as o'er the fields we bound; / There's nothing like fox-hunting, and some might say the stag, / But when you can't get either, then there's nothing like the Drag.' The fourth stanza notes that 'many a Staff aspirant has saluted mother earth'. There are also references to the Staff College, Tangley Park and Easthampstead Park. The final stanza gives a toast to 'our Secretary's health', as 'He's the proper sort of fellow to instruct the R. M. C.' See image.

Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 61 cm x 46.5 cm. Frame Size: 77 cm x 63 cm. In very good- condition. Minor abrasion with slight tear to upper part of engraving. A wonderful scene by John Nost Sartorius illustrating a late 18th century British fox hunt, in rich, clear engravings by J. Neagle and J. Peltro. Plate IV shows the bad/good culmination of the hunt (one's opinion depending on whose side one takes - the hunters or the hunted) as the team of riders and excited hounds have captured the fox. The differing expressions on the riders' faces are fascinating. The accompanying lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' (1735) read as follows: "A chosen few / Alone the sport enjoy, nor droop beneath / Their pleasing toils. The unerring hounds / With peals of echoing vengeance close pursue. / Listen! now they are at him again. Now Reynard / Look to yourself. It is just up with him. / What a crash they make; the whole wood resounds. / That turn was very short. There now; / Aye; now they have him. Who-hoop. Further inscription reads: 'To Charles Boldero, Esqr, of Aspeden Hall Herts. This Print is dedicated by his much obliged and obedient Servant John Harris.' John Nost Sartorius (17551828),] was an English painter of horses, horse-racing and hunting scenes. He is considered the best-known and prolific of the Sartorius family of artists. (Wikipedia).

Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 61 cm x 46.5 cm. Frame Size: 77 cm x 63 cm. In very good condition. Some minor traces of browning and paper imperfections to outer margins only. A wonderful scene by John Nost Sartorius illustrating a late 18th century British fox hunt, in rich, clear engravings by J. Neagle and J. Peltro. Plate III shows the beginning of the hunt as the team of riders and hounds have lost the scent. The lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' (1735) read as follows: "Here, Huntsman from the height / Observe you Birds of prey; if I can judge, / 'Tis there the villain lurks; they hover round / And claim him as their own. / Was I not right? / See! there he creeps along: Ha! yet he flies, / Nor yields to black despair, but one loose more, / And all his wiles are vain." Further inscription reads: 'To William Bowman, Esqr, of Clapton. This Print from the original Picture in his Poessession is most respectfully Inscribed by his much obliged and obedient Servant John Harris.' John Nost Sartorius (17551828),] was an English painter of horses, horse-racing and hunting scenes. He is considered the best-known and prolific of the Sartorius family of artists. (Wikipedia).

1 vols. Folio. 1 vols. Folio. The artist, from internal evidence, seems to be Rev. H.L. Bennet--clearly an ardent and well-connected sportsman, as most of his sketches are portraits and caricatures of well-known hunting men (and women) of the day, many of whom are identified. These include a portrait of Lord Jersey, who Nimrod called "perhaps the most elegant rider for hounds the world has ever seen", and many others. The drawings are skilfully executed, and are often amusing. A unique production of one of the golden ages of British sport. Including : Examples of 2 pages, 7 images: Mrs. Rowley's Groom on his Compact Mare, Rush Esq, Farthgghoc, Col. Joddsch (?), Lord Anson's steward M-- Wyatt. J.H. Jr, T.T.D. Another: 2 pages; Rev. G.
