R.S. Surtees' novel Handley Cross contains a series of "Lectors", where Surtees gives vent to his views on hunting, hounds and horsemanship in the person of Mr. Jorrocks. These essays have little connection with the story in the novel and have been published here independently, partly for their own sake, and partly as a vehicle for G.D. Armour's excellent illustrations. The illustrations are full-page colour plates.
