Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Billiards Years ago, the Editor of this work felt the want of a systematic treatise on Billiards. Books there were, giving instructions on various points, but none, so far as he could discover, harmonising the whole into a system. The Editor refrained from undertaking such a book, feeling that he had not a sufficiently intimate knowledge of the game. Knowing, however, that Mr. Bennett was a very successful teacher of Billiards, the Editor propounded his scheme to him; and the result of their joint labours will be found in the following pages. November 1872. Preface To The Third Edition. The Author and Editor have gone carefully through all the directions and measurements, have amended some passages and have corrected some of the strokes. A new chapter on Winning-hazards has been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of the Game of Billiards: Illustrated, With Rules of the Game; Hints on the Care of Billiard Table, &C Another great defect was the disproportionate height of the cushion, which, when a ball lay against it, necessitated an almostvertical application of the cue, and caused the player, when his hall was cushioned, to lose ninety - nine shots out of every hundred. On account of the materials of which their cushions were 'made, the old-school'tmanu facturers were obliged to make them of this extrava gant height, or the ball would fly over the table at every shot. Again - in the India rubber cushion for instance the imbedding of the ball in the material made the produc tion of correct angles an utter impossibility.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Billiards, Game, 500 Up: An Account of the Above Game, With Diagrams, Showing the Position of the Balls for the Last Nine Breaks; Also One Hundred and Eleven Other Diagrams Well Adapted for Practice The object, however, in relating these particulars is to show the importance that was attached in those days to the superiority of winning-hazard striking, when combined with a knowledge of just and proper strengths, since the great success that attended the Baron arose principally from the skill he displayed in managing what is now termed the spot stroke for whenever the red ball was spotted, and the Baron's ball sufficiently near to present a certain hazard, the game was considered over. In those days (fifty years since), making seven red hazards in succession in the two corner pockets was deemed a masterly performance.
