Sir Reginald Henry Graham, 8th Baronet (1835 to 1920). Published by Eveleigh Nash in 1907.

Contents Includes: The Beaufort Hunt; The Burton Hunt; The Cotswold Hunt; The New Forest Hunt; The Tedworth Hunt; The Hurworth Hunt.

From the text: After the Deer Removal Act of 1851 the red deer were ordered to be destroyed, and Captain Buckworth Powell of Foxlease, with Mr. Hay Morant of Brockenhurst Park, were some of the first to start a few couples to hunt them. Then Mr. Grantley Berkeley, with two or three bloodhounds, killed a few, and they all gradually disappeared.

Sporting Reminiscences Of Hampshire From 1745 To 1862

Preface: The following book is an annual register of the principal sporting events that have taken place in the county of Hants during the last century.

The information has in a great measure been derived from private diaries, and has been communicated by many old sportsmen still living.

The Author is also greatly indebted to the Editors of BelVs Life and the Hants Chronicle for allowing him free access to their back files.
