Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spalding's Manual of Roller Skating: Containing Over Fifty Illustrations, With Complete Descriptions of All Movements Performed on Roller Skates
The graceful, fascinating exercise of Roller Skating has not, in our judgment, an objectionable feature, its popularity of late years with both sexes in England and America insures its establishment as one of the permanent fashion able amusements With a hearty patronage.
Its advantages over ice-skating consist in being no longer confined to a short and unfavorable season of the year, and the freaks of an uncertain climate, permitting us to enjoy this exhilarating excercise ih-doors regardless of Weather. The establishment of Skating Rinks in nearly every one of the principal cities of the country enables young and old to indulge in this exercise under the guidance of competent instructors.
