1837 Memoirs of John Mytton HUNTING Sports Color Illustrated Alken & Rawlins

Charles Apperley's book 'Memoirs of the life of the late John Mytton' is a fascinating biography with beautiful color illustrations depicting different hunting scenes, which fell in line with Apperley's work writing for the Sporting Magazine of London.
"This is not a work of fiction, for John Mytton, a rather inglorious character for a biography, was a hard-living, hard-drinking country squire of Halston, Shropshire, capable of the utmost physical endurance, and ready to accept any wager to walk, shoot or ride against any man. Many of his feats are recorded and graphically delineated, including the climax of his folly in setting his nightshirt on fire to cure a hiccough" (Martin Hardie).

"A most valuable and important book for the sporting life of the period, aptly described by Newton as 'a biography of a man that reads like a work of fiction'" (Tooley).
