Book Description
Excerpt from Holiday Sports and Pastimes for Boys So few persons ever think of reading a preface that I fear it is almost a work of supererogation to write one; it is, however, necessary that I should ofl'er one or two remarks relative to the appearance of the present volume, and the grounds upon which I assert my competency to write it. I feel these remarks the more imperative from the fact, that such other works as I have had the honour of presenting to the public, are so very different from the present in subject, object, and detail.
