PREFACE.
There is at present no work on Lawn-Tenniswritten by any of the well-known players or judgesof the game, and it is with great diffidence that Ioffer this book to fill the gap until something bettercomes.
It is intended for beginners, and for those whohave not had the opportunity of seeing the bestplayers and of playing against them.
To the better players it would be presumption forme to offer advice. I should not, indeed, have venturedto write at all had I not had unusual opportunitiesof studying the game against the best players,and especially against the Champion, Mr. W. Renshaw,and his brother.
