Excerpt from Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun, Vol. 1: With 32 Portraits and Illustrations

As to sins of omission, I can only say in defence that I have carefully considered the claims of a long roll of worthies before making my choice, and that I have chosen those whose lives afforded most material for interesting and entertaining biography. There have been some great sportsmen - the late Earl of Malmesbury and his father, for example - whom I would gladly have included in my gallery of portraits, but the information obtainable was so scanty and so devoid of personal interest that I felt the impossibility of making anything readable out of it. I think the names which I have selected are fairly representative of the great experts with Rod, Rifle, and Gun.
