221. lappuse - My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, So flewed, so sanded, and their heads are hung With ears that sweep away the morning dew ; Crook-kneed, and dewlapped like Thessalian bulls ; Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells, Each under each. A cry more tuneable Was never holla'd to, nor cheered with horn, In Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly.
362. lappuse - Frank Forester's Fish and Fishing of the United States and British Provinces of North America...
462. lappuse - Always in running a iish, keep well up to, or, if possible, at right angles with its head. In the event of its taking across the current, instead of stemming or descending it, give the butt without reserve. In the case of a plunge or somerset, slacken line as quickly as possible, but lose no time in recovering it when the danger is over.
22. lappuse - There was one earthly enjoyment in which he chiefly delighted ; which was, hunting with fleet hounds, whose opening in the woods he used with pleasure to encourage : and again, with the pouncing of birds, whose nature it is to prey on their kindred species. In these exercises, after hearing divine service in the morning, he employed himself whole days.
442. lappuse - FLYFISHING. IN the chapter on bottom-fishing, I have remarked that all fish may be taken by that mode ; but now it must be explained, that the circle from which the victims of the flyfisher's art are to be selected, is much more limited. He may, however, flatter himself that all, or nearly so, of the most prized varieties are included in his list, and this is the case not only in America and the British islands, but in almost all countries. In India, fly-fishing is practised to a great extent, and,...
433. lappuse - At this moment the angler slackens his line gently for a couple of seconds, and then strikes with his wrist, using only a slight jerk. The trout is now either hooked or alarmed, but generally the former is the case, unless he is a very shy, wary old fox ; in which case he is not likely to be again tempted on that day. If, however, the trout is seen approaching the minnow, the angler ought to endeavor, as far as his nerves will allow him, to continue the precise kind of motion which attracted the...
221. lappuse - Such young hounds as are out at the elbows, and such as are weak from the knee to the foot, should never be taken into the pack. I find that I have mentioned a small head, as one of the necessary requisites of a hound; but you will understand it as relative to beauty only ; for, as to goodness, I believe large-headed hounds are in no wise inferior.
365. lappuse - The flesh of this fish is very similar in flavor and color to that of the common salmon, with which it is very generally confounded ; and the two are sold indiscriminately by the fishmongers as ordinary salmon. In habits, haunts, &c., they are also alike. It is common in the St. Lawrence, and the rivers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. THE COMMON TROUT, Salmo Fontinalis, is distinguished by the length of the lower jaw being greater than that of the upper. It weighs from half a pound to four or five,...
21. lappuse - An Anglo-Saxon, by his will gives two hawks (hapocap), and all his stag-hounds (heabon hunbap), to his natural lord/ The sportsmen in the train of the great were so onerous on lands, as to make the exemption of their visit a valuable privilege. Hence a king liberates some lands from those who carry with them hawks or falcons, horses or dogs.
132. lappuse - Before attempting to use the loaded gun, the shooter, whether young or old, should always make himself thoroughly master of it. Many of the accidents, which so constantly occur, arise solely from a neglect of this precaution ; but if the sportsman...
