Facsimile of 1858 (first) edition. The preface from the author says "It may be a recommendation to the lover of light literature to be told that the following story does not involve the complication of plot. It is a mere continuous narrative of an almost every-day exaggeration interspersed with sporting scenes and excellent illustrations by Leech".
