Excerpt from Driving
A few lines only are necessary to explain the object with which these volumes are put forth. At the time when the Badminton Library was started no modern encyclop?dia existed to which the inexperienced man, who sought guidance in the practice of the various British Sports and Pastimes, could turn for information. Some books there were on Hunting, some on Racing, some on Lawn Tennis,some on Fishing,and soon; but one Library, or succession of volumes, which treated of the Sports and Pastimes indulged in by Englishmen - and women - was wanting. The Badminton Library was produced to supply the want.
