PREFACE TO NEW EDITION:
The copyright of "The Druid Sporting Library" having been acquired by the present publishers, the question of revision was duly considered.  Any idea of materially interfering with the text was abandoned, and it was determined to introduce as few changes as possible, but to carefully revise the work, correcting little inaccuracies that had escaped the notice of the author.
Instead of altering the framework of the four books constituting the library, it was decided to add a fifth to the number, and the publishers have been fortunate in obtaining the co-operation of the Honourable Francis Lawley, who has carried out the congenial task of writing "The Life and Times of The Druid", which will now form a companion volume to the series, adding to their completeness in a more satisfactory manner than could have been accomplished in any other way.  The titles of the volumes of "The Druid Sporting Library" are as follows:
THE POST AND THE PADDOCK
SILK AND SCARLET
SCOTT AND SEABRIGHT
SADDLE AND SIRLOIN
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE DRUID
