"One hundred and fifty years ago pessimists forecast, with the advent of railways and the industrial revolution, that foxhunting would be doomed within a generation. Today, despite problems of land, traffic, wire, motorways and hostility from a small but vociferous section of the public, foxhunting is thriving as never before, even though some hunts are being forced to amalgamate to keep down costs." Sporting author Tony Jackson, Editor of Shooting Times and Country Magazine at the time of publication gives his views of the pursuit, illustrated with numerous engaving drawings by Alison Guest.
