APPERLEY, CHARLES JAMES (1777-1843)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 221 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APPERLEY, CHARLES JAMES (1777-1843) , English sports-man and sporting writer, better known as " Nimrod," the pseudonym under which he published his works on the chase and the
turf
 , was born at Plasgronow, near Wrexham, in Denbigh-shire, in 1777. Between the years 1805 and 1820 he devoted himself to fox-
hunting
 . About 1821 he began to contribute to the Sporting Magazine, under the pseudonym of " Nimrod," a
series
  of racy articles, which helped to
double
  the circulation of the magazine in a year or two. The proprietor, Mr Pittman, kept for " Nimrod " a
stud
  of hunters, and defrayed all expenses of his tours, besides giving him a handsome salary. The death of Mr Pittman, however, led to a law-suit with the proprietors of the magazine for money advanced, and Apperley, to avoid imprisonment, had to take up his residence near Calais (183o), where he supported himself by his writings. He died in London on the 19th of May 1843. The most important of his works are: Remarks on the
Condition
  of Hunters, the Choice of Horses, &c. (1831); The Chase, the
Turf
 , and the Road (originally written for the Quarterly
Review
 ), (1837); Memoirs of the
Life
  of the
Late
  John Mytton (1837); Nimrod's Northern Tour (1838); Nimrod Abroad (1842); The Horse and the
Hound
  (a reprint from the seventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica) (1842);
Hunting
  Reminiscences (1843).
