The book of sports, for boys and girls. Containing games, recreations, and amasements, for the play room at home or at school

The prime object of this book is to induce and to teach boys and girls to spend their hours out of school in such a manner, as to gain innocent enjoyment while they promote their own health and bodily strength. The author has never lost sight of this object, considering it to be what properly belongs to a Book of Sports. He hopes that several of the games will be found to the knowledge of many scientific facts.
