"Fox Hunting - The Mystery of Scent" is a detailed treatise on scent, being an exploration of the mysteries of scent in relation to fox hunting and hounds. This volume will be of considerable utility to modern readers with a practical interest in hunting, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: "The secretion of scent", "The diffusion of scent", "the Scentometer", "Adverse factors", "The Secret of scent", "Scent and local conditions", "How we smell", "How Hounds smell", "Scent in other animals", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
