Book excerpt: Excerpt from Billiards Expounded to All Degrees of Amateur Players, Vol. 1: The Elementary Side of Billiard-Playing Expounded may meet with a similar fate. Though, whether or no, I take to myself the idea that up to date it is the most serious and genuine attempt to show the theory and practice of the Billiard art in book form. It was my good fortune to secure as a collaborator Mr. S. A. Mussabini, a well-known writer on the game of Billiards. He has acted as a sort Of Boswell to me; for all that is recorded in Billiards Expounded comes from his pen as a condensation and lucid arrange ment of the precepts and principles I have from time to time put before him. How well he has performed his task the reader can now judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
