GEORGE JOHN WHYTE MELVILLE

Riding recollections.

London, Ward, Lock & Co. [1885]. 8vo, pp. 248, [6]. Original gilt blue cloth. Pages uncut & partly unopened. Illustrated with plates. George John Whyte-Melville [1821-1878] was a Scottish novelist of the sporting-field, born at Mount Melville, near St. Andrews. He entered the army, and for a time served in it. He met his death while hunting. He was one of the 19th Century experts on riding. This wonderful book ("As in the choice of a horse and a wife a man must please himself, ignoring the opinion of friends, so in the governing of each it is unwise to follow out any fixed system of discipline") covers inter alia coercion, use of bridle,hand, abuse of spur, seat, bridle, discretion, Irish hunters, thorough-breds, fox hounds, stag hounds provinces, shires, etc. The author offers advice based on a lifetime's experience of riding and hunting. The first sections of the book focus on horsemanship and the latter half primarily on the hunting field. Illustrations by John Charlton. Edges binding & joints a bit rubbed. Good copy.

Large octavo, crimson buckram with gilt sporting motifs to covers, t.e.g., uncut. Beautiful limited edition set of Whyte-Melville's stories of English country sports, with hand-colored frontispieces and numerous plates by Hugh Thomson, H.M. Brock, and others. Famous for his captivating stories of country sporting life, Whyte-Melvillle (1821-78) also wrote a valuable work on horsemanship (Riding Recollections), historical novels, and memorable poetry. ""His books, with their stamp of authenticity, their frequent poetic charm, their liveliness, and their chivalric ideals"" attracted many readers in -- and out -- of the sporting class (Kunitz & Haycraft, 655). A most attractive set from the pen of the soldier, sportsman, and prolific Victorian writer, famed for his sporting, social and historical novels. His adventurous life ended in 1878 when he was killed instantly in an accident in the hunting field--what Churchill was later to call ""a very good death to die"" This copy is one of only 1050 sets published. Plates bright. Very slight rubbing else fine. EACH / per volume ....."
