What reading level is Recollections of a Fox Hunter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there are others of a different character who require a Master's supervision. I believe it was an observation made by Beckford, that if he had his choice of a second-rate huntsman and a first-rate whipper-in, or the reverse, he would select the former ; and I am of the same opinion, although for a different reason. First- class huntsmen of the modem school are too much given to assume the credit of killing foxes to themselves, and far too eager to make a display of their talents by scientif...ic casts, taking those liberties with their pack which certainly must prove injurious ; whereas a man of moderate abiUties, diffident of his own knowledge, will be content to give the hounds a fair opportunity of displaying theirs first ; and seconded by a clever whipper-in, I will back him to show more sport, and maintain a better pack, than the great genius.
It is very desirable, if not necessary, for a huntsman to possess a good temper and kind disposition, without which his hounds will never become really attached to him ; but these are not indispensable qualifications in a whipper-in, who, to be perfect in his calling, must be held in terror by the evil-doers of the pack ; in fact, they THE WHIPPER-IN 107 should be as ready to fly from his rate, as wilHng to fly to the cheer of their huntsman.
