Or the Sporting Adventures of Thomas Scott, Esq.

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. All we have got to say in the way of a preface to this work is, that our friend Tom Scott, seeing his Adventures advertised as the sporting adventures of Thomas Scott, Esquire, wrote to us to say that he calls himself Mister – Mr. Thomas Scott, and that he has Thomas Scott, Farmer, Hawbuck Grange, in honest parliamentary-sized letters, without flourish or eye-mystifying gewgaw, on the back of his dog-cart, as any one who likes to inspect it may see.
