Excerpt from Cassell's Complete Book of Sports and Pastimes: Being a Compendium of Out-Door and in-Door AmusementsThe benefits of athletic and other manly exercises, from an educational as well as a recreative point of View, are now very generally recognised. Ther'e 18 no better means of promoting a healthy action of the body or of bidding defiance to the doctor than a moderate indulgence in sports and pastimes But not only are these exercises of supreme importance in maintaining a vigorous state of health in our boys, they have also a peculiar and decided value in what may be called a moral sense. Listen to the wise words of the Hon. Edward Lyttelton, than whom there is no one more highly qualified by example and precept to offer skilled Opinion on the subject. A boy, says Mr. Lyttelton, is disciplined by athletics in two ways: by being forced to put the welfare of the common cause before selfish interests, to obey implicitly the word of command.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
