According to Murdoch, this book is actually a lineal descendant of Robert Chambers' A Few Rambling Remarks on Golf, but the changes and enlargement of this edition were enough to merit a change in title and its own bibliographical listing. The brown cloth issue seems to be among the scarcer binding colors. Murdoch 118; D&M 820; D&J C8890.
