Price : £50.00 Publisher : London: George Routledge and Sons Published : 1889 Edition : 5th or later Edition Binding : Hard Condition : Very Good Jacket : No Jacket
pp912. 8vo. Illustrated cloth covers show a young cricketer making a strike and a couple skating in red, gold and black. Lacrosse sticks and a horseman appear on the spine. Unfortunately, the red ink has run over the head of the cricketer making it appear that he has caused himself grave damage. Two previous owners have pasted their book plates inside the front cover. REP is absent. This is the sixteenth edition, revised and enlarged. The preface to the fifteenth edition which appears inside says it has been amended to include the new rules of Association Football, but the section on football is illustrated with a colour plate (one of a number) of a rough-house, rather than the formal game. Clearly it was still difficult to distinguish the sport in the clogging. And there's more! The tissue protector on the frontispiece (a game of leapfrog) has been used to trace the title page image of a yacht.
