In Mr. Higginson's "Foxhunting", we have something that is badly needed - A book that deals with every aspect of the best of all sports as we enjoy it today," writes the Duke of Beaufort in his foreword. Mr. Higginson's contributions to the literature of sport cover a wide range, and foxhunting is the summary of his opinions and beliefs, on all that matters technical, practical and human, connected with the sport he knows and loves so well. He writes in these pages with the authority of long experience.
