| "The Scottish Game of Golf," in Frank Leslie's Boys and Girls Weekly Vol. 8. Pp. 108. 13¼x9, half calf & marbled boards. Illustrated from drawings and engravings. First Edition. |
| An early, if not the first, article about golf to appear in the United States. A short article explaining the basics of golf, including detailed descriptions of the clubs and balls used in the game with an illustration of a gofling match. |
| Condition: |
| Volume is worn with spine partially detached, large labels to front and back covers; text block nearly detached from binding, large ink stamp and crayon markings to front free endpaper. Internally, but for light foxing, the volume is very good. |
