Excerpt from Captain Crawley's Handbooks: Swimming, Skating, Rinking, and Sleighing, Their Theory and Practice

There is a good deal Of sense in some of these Old world stories.

My vanity, whatever may be my ambition, is hardly so great as to lead me to suppose that this little Handbook will be extensively read out of Great Britain - and her colonies. Still, there are a good many people-english speaking people - even in that limited space and for some of them, perhaps, or at least for such of them as care about Swimming, Skating, and Sleighing, there may be found herein a chapter, a passage, a sentence, or a phrase, not altogether without its practical value. Should it be so, I shall be satisfied, without risking inquiry as to the area over which the little book has travelled content to feel.
