The publishers of the present Edition of this popular littlevolume had a double purpose in entering upon the undertaking,—namely,to offer a carefully-revised copy of Walker’sManly Exercises, and an outline of Rural Sports, to whichthey serve as the best elementary introduction. As the executionof that design was committed to me, I can only alludeto the nature of the task, and hope that I have not quite failedin the enterprise. This I may be permitted to say,—that ifthe publishers’ desire to make the work a source of instructiveand rational amusement be realized, even to the tithe of itsextent and earnestness, the labour of his Editor will not havebeen wholly without success.
