Excerpt from The Sportsman's Cabinet, and Town and Country Magazine, Vol. 1: A Periodical Devoted to the Genuine Sports of the Field, and Interesting Illustrations of Natural History; November, 1832, to April, 1833 The present season (1832) produced plenty of grouse, which, on the 12th of August, were found very strong on the wing, and very wild. Much rain fell during the incubation of the partridge and the pheasant, but the weather during the period Of hatching was fine, and these birds were found in tolerable plenty. Hares have been remarkably prolific; and the same observation, we have not the least doubt, will apply to foxes. The uncommonly warm and dry weather which took place during the latter part of the month of September rendered the ground very hard; but as rain fell in the early part of October, it became pleasantly soft and favourable for cub-hunting.
