About this Item
A printed leaf, 448 x 288, printed on one side only, with coloured illustration of eight men playing skittles at top, the layout of the court or ground, and rules; stained on left-hand side, top margin chipped, two holes in imprint, rather browned, but an uncommon item. "As the Game of Skittles is now a favourite Amusement, a general Guide to remove Doubts, and prevent Disputes, is become necessary. Stimulated by these considerations, a respectable Society of Gentlemen (who are esteemed good Players) have been induced to print the following Rules and Instructions, which they have themselves often lamented the want of, hoping they will be found generally useful, but particularly to Learners." Kearsley offered this for saled at 6d. plain or 1s. coloured. ESTC T228506 locates a copy in the BL; OCLC adds Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Seller Inventory # 8542
