Excerpt from Tales for SportsmenThis little collection of tales for sportsmen hardly requires a preface, most of them having already appeared between Baily's green covers and in various weekly sporting papers, but a preface is usually expected, and especially from unknown authors who generally seize the opportunity to disarm, or try at least to disarm, stem or venomous critics by explaining their modest ambition in venturing to publish a book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
