Book Description
Excerpt from Sixty Years on the Turf: The Life and Times of George Hodgman, 1840-1900 Long prefaces nowadays are companions in misfortune of long sermons - in being out of date. Nor, unless the preface bear to the book the importance the postscript does usually to the lady's letter, is the, so to speak, preliminary or explanatory notice of much purpose. Still, a few words of why this book of "Reminiscences" came to be written, and how it was put into shape, may be held pardonable. Mr. Hodgman is now in his seventy-seventh year, and for over sixty seasons has he been associated actively with the Turf. In that considerable period he has met, naturally, "all sorts and conditions of men," and stored in a marvellous memory is a rare harvest of anecdote, from which, in paddock or at dinner-table, he has drawn for the amusement of his friends, many of whom, time back, pleaded the desirability of publication. Mr. Hodgman, however, was not in a mood for the pen, and perhaps would never have seriously regarded the idea but for the insistence of the late Lord Russell of Killowen.
