Excerpt from The Complete Lawn Tennis Player Finally, I have to acknowledge the kindness, exercised I am afraid at some personal inconvenience, of Mr. Norman Brookes and M. Max Decugis, two of the leading players whose strokes Mr. George Beldam's 1n1m1table camera, working at an exposure of fivth fraction of a second, has so graphically delineated. A large number of the seventy action photographs here reproduced were specially taken for thls volume, and I do not doubt they will enhance what success It may achieve.

Excerpt from The Complete Lawn Tennis Player When this volume was contemplated, three objects were kept in view. The first was to demonstrate the evolution and organisation of a game which, in the short space of thirty years, has claimed more votaries and founded more clubs the world over than any other outdoor pastime in existence. The second was to treat methods of play, their developments and their results, their physiological and their psychological aspects, in such manner that both the beginner and the more experienced might derive some benefit. The third was to entertain, with the traditions and the ana of lawn tennis and with memories of some of its best-known exponents, that large army which wields the racket in many lands. In the more or less didactic chapters, those dealing with strokes in the making, I have received invaluable assistance from the Rev. A. E. Crawley, Headmaster of Derby School, who has made a profound study of their technique and whose practical experience as a player began in the days of Willie Renshaw. The exposition of the principles underlying the American service, its varieties and its complexities, is only one of the contributions in this section for which my acknowledgments to Mr. Crawley are due. These I very gratefully tender. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Great Lawn Tennis Players: Their Methods Illustrated Perhaps the quickest way to improve at any game is to constantly play with those superior to ourselves possibly the next best thing is to watch the great exponents and failing both of these I venture to think action-photographs are good substitutes. But these only show, in the matter of teaching, what one has trained the eye to see. Yet action-photographs will influence where technical knowledge is lacking. My thanks are due to the various players who so kindly helped me in every way, and also to the all-england Lawn Tennis Club and Queen's Club.

Excerpt from Methods and Players of Modern Lawn Tennis I have been profoundly impressed with the success of the efforts the author has made to produce a book that would make a three-fold appeal -to the beginner, to'the average player and to the expert. The beginner will find in these pages a work that will start him right on the path to proficiency and ground him in the elements of the game. The average player will have before him a textbook that deals exhaustively with the production Of strokes and their uses and the employment Of proper tactics and generalship on the court. The expert, finally, will discover here much food for thought, no matter how thoroughly he may know the game.
