Excerpt from Frank Forester's Fugitive Sporting Sketches: Being the Miscellaneous Upon Sport and Sporting, Originally Published in the Early American Magazines and Periodicals

Y object in presenting a work of this kind to the sporting public, at this time, is quite fully defined in the introduc tory chapter, and to this I have but little to add. The utility and interest of a volume of this kind will, I trust, be apparent to the most casual observer. The writings of Frank Forester, as stated elsewhere, are too well and favorably known to require an apology for placing a new collection of his superb sketches before the fraternity of which he was, while living, the brightest light.
