Rare little booklet presenting a variety of sports and pastimes, including a page and a half on golf, declaring "In Scotland this game is much practised at the present time... The object is to drive the balls into certain holes in the ground, and the party that does so the soonest, or with the fewest number of strokes, wins the game." The Golf Club is described as "generally made of some tough wood, such as beech." The Golf Ball "is made of stout leather, being first well soaked in hot water, and sewed together, and then turned inside out, leaving a small opening by which it is stuffed full with feathers." A very early treatment of golf as a recreational sport in America.
