talbot_n be_v best_a for_o the_o string_n or_o line_n as_o delight_v in_o blood_n the_o largest_n be_v the_o comely_a and_o best_a the_o grizzled_a usual_o shag-haired_a be_v the_o best_a verminer_n

shape_n of_o your_o hound_n you_o must_v consult_v the_o climate_n of_o his_o breed_n and_o the_o natural_a composition_n of_o his_o body_n but_o by_o these_o follow_a character_n you_o may_v know_v a_o good_a hound_n if_o you_o like_v a_o large_a heavy_a true_a talbot_n like_o hound_n see_v his_o head_n be_v round_o and_o thick_a nose_n short_a and_o uprise_a nostril_n wide_a and_o large_a ear_n

the_o affection_n of_o the_o gentleman_n the_o lover_n of_o this_o sport_n and_o let_v he_o tell_v i_o the_o reason_n that_o induce_v he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o hound_n whether_o it_o be_v he_o fancy_v cunning_a in_o hunt_v or_o sweetness_n loudness_n or_o deepness_n of_o cry_n or_o for_o the_o train_n his_o horse_n or_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o body_n only_o if_o for_o cunning_a hunt_n breed_v your_o dog_n from_o the_o slow_a and_o large_a of_o the_o forementioned_a northern_a hound_n and_o the_o swift_a and_o slender_a of_o the_o west_n country_n of_o both_o kind_n approve_v to_o be_v not_o give_v to_o lie_v off_o or_o look_v for_o advantage_n but_o staunch_a fair_a even_o run_v and_o of_o perfect_a fine_a scent_n these_o will_v make_v a_o horse_n gallop_v fast_o and_o not_o run_v be_v middlesized_a not_o too_o swift_a as_o to_o outrun_v or_o too_o slow_a as_o to_o lose_v the_o scent_n be_v the_o best_a for_o the_o true_a art_n and_o use_v of_o hunt_v if_o for_o sweetness_n of_o cry_n compound_v your_o kennel_n of_o some_o large_a dog_n of_o deep_a solemn_a mouth_n and_o swift_a in_o spend_v as_o the_o base_a in_o the_o consort_n then_o twice_o so_o many_o

composition_n be_v of_o the_o swift_a and_o large_a deep_a mouthed_a dog_n the_o slow_a and_o middlesized_a and_o the_o short_a legged_a slender_a dog_n for_o these_o run_v even_o together_o if_o for_o loudness_n of_o mouth_n choose_v the_o loud_a clang_n redouble_v as_o it_o be_v mouth_n and_o to_o this_o put_v the_o roar_a spend_v and_o whine_a mouth_n which_o will_v be_v loud_a smart_n and_o pleasant_a such_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n your_o shropshire_n and_o worcestershire_n dog_n if_o last_o for_o deegness_n of_o cry_n the_o large_a dog_n have_v the_o great_a mouth_n and_o deep_a flews_n be_v the_o best_a such_o be_v your_o west-country_n cheshire_n and_o lancashire_n dog_n but_o if_o you_o have_v your_o kennel_n for_o train_n horse_n only_o then_o compound_v your_o kennel_n of_o the_o light_a nimble_a and_o swift_a dog_n such_o as_o your_o northern_a hound_n be_v for_o the_o strong_a and_o violent_a exercise_n of_o their_o horse_n through_o the_o natural_a velocity_n of_o their_o hound_n in_o the_o north_n part_n have_v render_v they_o famous_a for_o truth_n and_o swiftness_n above_o all_o other_o part_n of_o england_n last_o if_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o your_o health_n by_o prevent_v infirmity_n and_o grossness_n of_o humour_n you_o compose_v your_o kennel_n consult_v first_o your_o own_o ability_n for_o this_o exercise_n and_o if_o you_o think_v you_o be_v able_a to_o foot_v it_o away_o than_o the_o big_a and_o slow_a dog_n you_o can_v get_v be_v best_a but_o if_o you_o will_v pad_n it_o away_o through_o a_o unability_n of_o foot_v it_o than_o choose_v the_o slow_a or_o middlesized_a hound_n of_o good_a mouth_n and_o nose_n for_o loud_a cry_n and_o ready_a scent_n thus_o far_o for_o the_o compose_v a_o kennel_n i_o
