This dictionary aims to aggregate information and provide insights into various topics related to the sports of the field, including hunting, racing, and veterinary care. Taplin, drawing on his extensive practical knowledge, seeks to present an original and useful resource for sports enthusiasts of all levels. The opening of the work presents the author's dedication to the Right Honourable the Earl of Sandwich and begins his preface, which outlines the motivation behind creating this dictionary. Taplin critiques the existing sporting literature for being outdated and lacking in practical knowledge, asserting that his work aims to fill this gap. He discusses a range of topics that will be covered, emphasizing the intended utility for both inexperienced individuals and seasoned sportsmen, while also hinting at the importance of understanding the risks associated with various sports. The detailed examination of contemporary sporting practices, as well as insights from his own experiences, sets the stage for a rich exploration of the sporting world throughout the volumes.
