Excerpt from The Art of Practical Billiards for Amateurs Having been asked to read the proof-sheets of the Art of Practical Billiards, by major-general Dray son, I may say that I have done so with pleasure, and that I am able to endorse, in nearly every case, the Author's advice, both theoretical and practical. I have not remarked that any points of great importance have been omitted, and I think that there are very few amateurs who may not gain some useful hints from a study of the book, which, as a lover of billiards, I hope will meet with success.
