The Turf

Excerpt from The Turf
Among the numerous English writers on the subject of Sporting, very few hold a higher position than does the writer who ultimately assumed the pseudonym of 'Nimrod.' He published about a dozen works, between the years 1831 and 1843. Some of these had previously appeared in the Quarterly Review and the New Sporting Magazine, and were unsigned. They related, generally speaking, to the Chace, the Road, and the Turf, and cognate subjects.
