"Advice on Fox-Hunting" by Henry XVIII Baron Willoughby de Broke is a specialized guide on the art of fox hunting, written in the early 20th century. This book is a collection of essays directed at different roles within the hunting community, including Masters of Hounds, Huntsmen, and Whippers-In. It provides insights into successful hunting practices, emphasizing the importance of dog breeding and training for optimal performance in the field. The content of the book is structured into three main sections, offering practical advice tailored to the distinct duties of the Master, the Huntsman, and the Whippers-In. The Baron shares his extensive experience, advising on responsibilities such as establishing relationships with landowners, managing hunting dogs, and conducting hunts. He emphasizes quickly adapting to circumstances and maintaining professional integrity and respect for the hounds. The work abolishes romantic notions often associated with hunting, focusing instead on the practical, sometimes harsh realities of the field, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced hunters keen to enhance their skills and knowledge.
