Date and author from Robert H. Stacey notes.

Gives a brief history of the game of football, or harpastum as the Romans called it, dating from their times and that of Ancient Greece and Ireland of 2000 years ago.  Humorous cartoon illustrations accompany each page of text.  The last page contains a remark from Rous & Mann, noting this work to be a second printing, and that it was produced to show, not only ability in printing, but the research work and accuracy of detail necessary in the production of really original work.
