« Just before the commencement of the war, I started, through the courtesy of the
editor of the
Field
, publishing a series of articles on horsemanship. This series was rudely interrupted
by the outbreak of war, and my military duties precluded my taking any further steps
for a considerable period. But after fighting in France continuously for nearly four
years, it was my fate, through the fortune of war, to be taken prisoner. Taking advantage
of the enforced leisure at my disposal, I have passed many an otherwise weary hour
in compiling this little volume. If it gives any of my readers as much pleasure to
read as it has given me to write, I shall be fully rewarded; but it is more than I
can hope that they will finish the last page with as much regret as I felt on the
conclusion of my task.
Now that peace has been declared and we can, once more, resume the pleasures of the
hunting field, of racing, polo, and the show-ring, I am at last able to place my MSS.
into the hands of the publishers. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1919)
