ORIGINAL 1802. HOR. [Price 95. in Boards] THE "QUORN" SCARF The celebrated "QUORN" Hunting Scarf was first patented and introduced by Messrs. Turnbull & Asser, and, in spite of many imitations, it still retains its hold on popular favour. They attribute this to the fact that the Scarf, whilst being neat and smart in appearance, has no unnecessary complications and is perfectly easy and simple to adjust It has from time to time been improved in accordance with suggestions made by practical and experienced riders, and is thus in all respects the most perfect Scarf for Hunting and Riding that has yet been invented TURNBULL & ASSER, HOSIERS & SHIRT MAKERS 71 & 72 JERMYN STREET, ST. JAMES'S LONDON S. W. THOUGHTS UPON HUNTING: IN A SERIES OF LETTERS. LETTER I. Bristol Hot-Wells, March 20 1779. REMARKS how little literature has been written upon the Sport of Hunting. I know not any writer, ancient or modern, from the time of Nimrod to the present day (one only excepted), who has given any useful information to a Fox-hunter There is not any branch of knowledge, commonly dignified with the title of art, which has not such rudiments or principles as may lead to a competent degree of skill, if not to perfection, in it; while hunting, the sole business of some, and the amusement of most of the youth in this kingdom, seems left entirely to chance. Its pursuit puts us to greater expence, and also to greater inconvenience, than any other; SK285 B4 1802 B12 |
