“Sir Henry Newbolt has put together many interesting stories about sport. Elephants, lions, and tigers come first: then there are chapters on deer-hunting and fox-hunting, with many extracts from Mr Masefield’s fine poem, ‘Reynard the fox,’ and a closing chapter on fishing. In his introductory chapter, ‘On the nature of sport,’ he states the arguments for and against sport, and insists very strongly on the value of true sportsmanship to the national character.”—Spec

“The instances of hunting experiences chosen by Sir Henry are admirably described, and compel the reader to share the excitement of the hunter. He brings out all the concomitants which differentiate sport from killing.”
