This work will be found very complete, and. it is thought, justly entitled to take its
place as the standard work on Tennis. It has cost its author much laborious
research; and, independently of its great value to tennis players and all lovers of
the game, it is trusted, from the vast amount of curious lore it contains, the volume
will be found not unworthy of a place on the shelves of the scholar. The author,
himself a well-known amateur, is fully competent to speak with authority on the
game, having had the opportunity of studying the play of the best Continental, in
addition to that of the best English, masters, and, therefore, may be taken as a safe
guide by learners.

A SYSTEM

FIGURE SKATING.
By
T. Maxwell Witham
This is the Fourth Edition of a work which has been the text-book of all Figure
Skaters since 1869. The present Edition is practically a new book, all the letter-
press having been revised and brought up to date, and all the diagrams, 276 in
number, having been redrawn. The diagrams of the “ Skating Club figures are
drawn in accordance with the manner of skating them authorised by the Com-
mittee of the Skating Club, and a new departure in diagrams has been made by
illustrating the “ Hand- in-Hand” figures with little diagraniatic representations
of the skaters, thus clearly showing their relative positions iu the various changes.
