The Boy's Own Book of Sports and Pastimes: Athletic Sports William Clarke

Originally published in the late 1800s. The illustrated contents describe and instruct on various athletic sports: Cricket - Golf - Football - Croquet - Troco - Hockey - Rackets and Fives - Tennis and Pallone - Quoits, Bowls and Skittles - Aunt Sally - Fencing - Broadsword and Single Stick - Archery - Riding - Driving - Gymnastics - Dumb Bells and Indian Clubs - Boxing and Wrestling etc. Many of the earliest sports books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
