Decorative illustrations at the top of each page, many textual illustrations. Really, three books in one. The first section (362 pages including an index), covers "goff or bandy-ball" (golf), rounders (baseball) and many other games and sports. The second section is "Parlour Magic" (191 pages), dealing with magic tricks and similar items. The third section is "Paul Preston's Book of Gymnastics" (168 pages) which covers a typical set of gymnastic routines and exercises. An interesting snapshot of recreation and exercise in the Victorian era..
