(p. v) DEDICATION
TO
H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES
Badminton: May 1885.
Having received permission to dedicate these volumes, the BadmintonLibrary of Sports and Pastimes, to His Royal Highness the Prince ofWales, I do so feeling that I am dedicating them to one of the bestand keenest sportsmen of our time. I can say, from personalobservation, that there is no man who can extricate himself from abustling and pushing crowd of horsemen, when a fox breaks covert, moredexterously and quickly than His Royal Highness; and that when houndsrun hard over a big country, no man can take a line of his own andlive with them better. Also, when the wind has been blowing hard,often have I seen His Royal Highness knocking over driven grouse andpartridges and high-rocketing pheasants in first-rate (p. vi)workmanlike style. He is held to be a good yachtsman, and as Commodoreof the Royal Yacht Squadron is looked up to by those who love thatpleasant and exhilarating pastime. His encouragement of racing is wellknown, and his attendance at the University, Public School, and otherimportant Matches testifies to his being, like most English gentlemen,fond of all manly sports. I consider it a great privilege to beallowed to dedicate these volumes to so eminent a sportsman as HisRoyal Highness the Prince of Wales, and I do so with sincere feelingsof respect and esteem and loyal devotion.
BEAUFORT.
