Book desription: Robert Hale, London, 1950, first edition.. 307 pp, 8vo (8 5/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs, fold-out map at rear. "...Leicestershire is geographically the Heart of England, the speech of its country people is probably the purest in the land, and Leicester itself has the . distinction of having traditionally been founded by King Lear. Of the authors, Guy Paget is a Leicestershire man born and bred. His love of his native county is apparent in every page, whether he is discussing its history, its great families, its . industries, or its pleasures. Himself a past Master of Hounds, few people are so well suited to write about the most time-honoured and celebrated of English sports, and that part of England where hunting reached its zenith. Lionel Irvine was for m. any years the honorary librarian of the County Archaeological Society, and his knowledge of Leicestershire is only less than that of Guy Paget, with whom this book is no new collaboration....No activity or development escapes their interest or elu. d e s their eye, and the result is a book filled with information, and yet written with a light touch which makes it easy and delightful reading."
