This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Sports of England This is the first step to history; for what is history but the account of what people said and did long ago, related by them to their children, and by them told again to others? Inquiries into the customs of our ancestors, which, from length of time, have become obscure, constitute a portion of the amusement and occupation of the antiquary. It was to the ardour with which he followed these researches, to his accurate' memory, and to the keen judgment which he exercised about them, joined to the delightful manner in which he imparted his knowledge to others, that Sir Walter Scott owed his great cele brity as the poet and historian of chivalry, the chronicler of ancient manners, and the devoted lover of brown heath and shaggy wood. You have all, perhaps, read some Of his works, and 1 am sure they must have charmed you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sports and Pastimes 1868 Considered that it is too delicate, too pretty, too refined to be dealt with by men who profess that, in speaking Of British Sports, they have intended to speak of things rough and violent. Tennis is not now widely known, but that, and Rackets, - which we regard as perhaps the most perfect game that was ever invented, - are Games rather than Sports, and can hardly be brought within our limits. There remains that wide word Athletics. Racing, Jumping, Ball-throwing and Hammer-throw ing, and the like, have undoubtedly pushed them selves into such prominent notice in late years as to give them almost a claim to be reckoned among British Sports; but we have felt that they have fallen some what short of the necessary dignity, and have excluded them, - not altogether with a clear conscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Sports and Sportsmen: Or the Willey Country Since the old Forest Periods, and since old Squire Forester's day even, the manners and the customs of the nation have changed; but the old love of sport discoverable in our ancestors, and inherited more or less by them from theirs, remains as a link connecting past generations with the present. It matters not, it appears to me, whether either the writer or the reader indulges himself in such sports or not, he may be equally willing to recall the Olden Time, with its instances of rough and ready pluck and daring, and to listen to an old song, made by an aged pate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Sport With a view to subsequent appearance in book form I lately published in the Badminton Magazine, under the general title Masters of Their Arts, a series of papers intended to place on record the manner in which the chief English sports and pastimes were conducted and practised at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Masters of Their Arts seemed appropriate, for the reason that those from whom I sought contributions might be fittingly so described. I drew out a list of the authorities whom I considered best able to supply what I wanted, and was extremely fortunate in obtaining a favourable answer to my requests in every case. Perhaps it would be presumptuous on my part to say that I do not see how the list could well have been strengthened; that, however, is a matter I leave with no little confidence to the judgment of readers.

Download or read book The National Sports of Great Britain written by Henry Thomas Alken and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Sports of Great Britain: Fifty Engravings With Descriptions Field Sports and Diversions with Animals, in the early and half-civilized periods of the world, were necessarily, like the people them selves, rude and barbarous. There did not exist sufficient refinement in human reason to prompt it into any Speculations on the feelings or sufferings of brutes and if such sentiments should incidentally have arisen in the minds of individuals, they were stifled in their birth by all - controuling custom. Such an idea as pity for the sufferings of a beast could scarcely exist in human minds, constituted and instructed as they then were; on the contrary, animal misery was a grand and favourite source of pleasure, and the public exposure of animals to the most excruciating tortures, appears to have been one of the most gratifying exhibitions. This natural, or unnatural tendency, in the mind of man, which he shares in common with the brutes his victims, and which, almost the highest degree of civilization has not been able to eradicate, has, doubtless, often exercised the lucubrations of the moral philosopher.
