Methods and Merit



LORD NORTH TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN.


  "I now dedicate this book to you, my dear
grandchildren, because I want you to grow up
good country gentlemen, doing your duty to
your sovereign, your country and your neigh-
bors, rich and poor, and fulfilling all the obliga-
tions of your station, and versed in all those
pursuits and occupations which make a country
life so pleasant and happy. I want you to grow
up sportsmen,-not, mind you, sporting men-
for there is a vast difference between a sportsman
and a sporting man:"
