As no contiiHious and accnrate record of the Warwickshire Hunt has been published since that which was written l)y " V^enator" and published in 1S87, with the of a " Century of Foxhunting," by " Castor," published in 1891, which perhaps does not deal with the whole question in the complete manner which such an important record demands, and because the former book has been for so many years out of print, and many hunting- men have not seen it, we trust that the "Annals of the Warwickshire Hunt" will be of interest to our readers, because they include all records, which are most worth reading, of days gone by, and have been continued up to the latest jDossible time before publication.* * The earliest book on t'oxliuntiug was publisla'd in 1481. 6 2.
