Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recreations in Ancient Fields
In preparing these recreations no efiort has been made to exhaust any subject by entering into minute details; nor for the sake of completeness to furnish a bare cata logue of names, dates, and bald statistics.
An exhaustive treatise upon any topic usually exhausts the reader's patience, while a long list of names and numbers is likely to be no more fascinating and profita ble for general reading than would be a common city directory.
