This is a complete edition of Surtees’ glorious work, illustrated by
the one artist of the day who is pre-eminently fitted to do justice
to it. The tale of the immortal Jorrocks and his Hunt is to-day
the most popular classic work on fox-hunting, and Mr. Cecil Aldin
is unquestionably the most popular sporting artist. He has entered
heart and soul into the spirit of the work, and the excellence of his
pictures proves that they were inspired by enthusiasm for his subject.
