Summary "Sporting Society; or, Sporting Chat and Sporting Memories, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Russell et al. is a collection of essays and anecdotes related to various aspects of sporting life, written in the late 19th century. The text delves into a range of sports including hunting, shooting, and fishing, reflecting on traditions and practices across generations. Through humorous and personal narratives, the collection captures not only the experiences of different sportsmen but also the evolving nature of sports and societal attitudes towards them. At the start of the book, the editor, Fox Russell, reflects nostalgically on the state of hunting, contrasting the hardy past with the more fashionable and less vigorous present. He bemoans the changes in hunting culture and practices over the decades, hinting at a decline in genuine sporting spirit amidst the accouterments of modernity. The opening portion also introduces various subsequent sections that promise a mix of practical advice and lighthearted reflections, setting a tone that seeks to entertain as well as inform readers about the rich tapestry of sporting life from times gone by.
