Excerpt from Golfiana Miscellanea: Being a Collection of Interesting Monographs on the Royal and Ancient Game of Golf

The editor of the present volume having for some time felt interested in golfing literature, and having had experience, along with others, of the great difficulty there is in procuring, some of the scarcer productions, had thus suggested to his mind, the idea of a small collection at a low price, Mid so within the reach of any one.

So far as the wealthy devotees of the pastime are concerned, Mr. Clark's most beautiful volume supplies all that could possibly be wished, or that the imagination could fancy. The present attempt is of a more humble nature, d may bring within the reach of some what may be highly appreciated, but which, on the score of cost, may not hitherto have been quite attainable. No doubt the present work contains many defects, both probably of omission as well as of commission, and the hope is expressed that such drawbacks may be dealt with for-bearingly. Should occasion be afforded of bringing out a second edition, there will be an opportunity of rendering the collection more perfect, and thus more interesting.
