Author recounts his love of sports: hunting, shooting and fishing in a series of recollections of his life over time. He not only discusses shooting and fishing but also details his love of hunting dogs and game- birds: partridge, pheasant, ducks, and moorhens. He expresses his love of the outdoors and the study of living nature in the country, feeling “satisfied if I have been able to produce on paper one-hundredth part of the exquisite pleasure that there is to be gathered from the birds and beasts of the chase in the pleasant places of our own dear land.”.
