The characteristics of the English Gentleman went unremarked in their homeland. It was only when they ventured to foreign parts that their characteristics became caricatures in the eyes of amazed natives. Douglas Sutherland, whose chronicles of what must surely be a dying species have attracted world-wide attention, he has travelled widely abroad armed with a Collectors Kit for the purpose of researching this book. With the unerring nose of the connoisseur he has sniffed out the Gentlemen in his tradition watering holes and, by and large, has found him alive and well. In giving us the result of his researches he has recognised that with the invention of such new-fangled devices as the flying machine some change is inevitable.
