From the mid-19th century "The Field" was the definitive magazine for the country gentleman, in which he recorded his observations and complaints and enjoyed arguments and discussions with his peers. Over the years his letters reflect the changes that were taking place in the countryside, while many of the subjects he wrote about remained the same. Not only do the letters make a contribution to the science of natural history, but they also reveal the interests, attitudes, prejudices and humour of the writers as they joined in the great debates of the day. Should women ride astride? Should farm labourers be permitted to copulate? How do you lasso a wasp and why? Do bears lust after native girls? Are snails better songsters than mice? This selection of letters, chosen by the editor of "Random Shots", plumbs the more obscure depths of English eccentricity and answers country questions. Ref EEE2.
