Excerpt from Gymnastic Kinesiology: A Manual of the Mechanism of Gymnastic Movements The favorable reception accorded the first edition Of the manual was most gratifying. The gradual but steady increase Of its use seems to warrant the assumption that it is filling a real want and to justify me in venturing the publication Of a second edition. A number Of minor changes in phrasing and construction have been made in an endeavor to make the text clearer. But aside from the correction Of a few errors, the addition Of three illustra tions, and Of three titles to the bibliography, no important changes or additions have been made.
