Excerpt from Sketches in the Hunting FieldA few words about the papers themselves. They are for the most part sketches from life with embellish ments, but in only two or three instances do the names given to the characters point in the slightest degree to their real identity.

From this moment my attitude towards hansoms...

Only a little progress had been made when the King's de...
