The Chace And The Road is a book written by Nimrod and first published in 1901. The book contains a collection of articles that originally appeared in the Sporting Magazine, written by Nimrod, a pseudonym for the English writer and sportsman Charles James Apperley.The book is divided into two parts, The Chace and The Road. The Chace focuses on fox hunting, which was a popular sport in England during the 19th century. Nimrod provides a detailed account of the different aspects of fox hunting, including the history of the sport, the different types of hounds used, the etiquette and rules of the hunt, and the various techniques used by hunters to catch their prey.The second part of the book, The Road, is devoted to coaching, another popular pastime in 19th century England. Nimrod describes the different types of coaches used for transportation, including the mail coach, the stagecoach, and the private coach. He also discusses the various routes taken by coaches and the dangers and challenges faced by coachmen and passengers alike.Throughout the book, Nimrod's writing is lively and engaging, providing a vivid picture of the world of fox hunting and coaching in 19th century England. The Chace And The Road is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the culture and customs of the era, as well as an entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of sports and transportation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
