Abstract
WHETHER by design or by accident, the new edition of this work has appeared at an opportune time, since the success of the Vienna Exhibition has attracted an even more than ordinary amount of attention to sports and pastimes of all sorts during the year now rapidly coming to a close. Those who possess the first volume of the original edition will find, on comparing it with its successor, a great change in regard to much of the subject-matter, aviation having been practically created since the date of the appearance of the first edition, while during the same period motors have come to the front as a means of communication, and everything in connection with automobiles has been revolutionised. So far as I am capable of judging, these articles, as well as those devoted to archery, athletics, cricket, &c., are thoroughly up to date, and, like the rest of the volume, admirably illustrated.
