A description in verse of the relaxations of merchants in the town of Manchester, which contains the couplet: "Their calculating projects some give o'er/And haste to play golf on Kersall moor," and also mentions cricket and some other sports on page 51. Harry B. Wood discusses the book on page 31 of Golf Curios and the "Like", describing Kersall Moor, "where the Old Manchester Club, established some 20 previously and composed chiefly of Scotsmen engaged in the Manchester Trade, played at that time under ideal conditions." Bookplate from the Golf Library of Joseph Murdoch and William Roberto.
