| The Popular Recreator, 1873 | |||||||
| 'The
Popular Recreator' was published by Cassell and Co in
London in 1873. No author or editor's name is given. It
contains a series of short articles about many different
sports and pastimes. It seems likely that it may
originally have been issued, or at least intended to be
issued, either as a serial or in several parts, since
there are many articles on the same subjects scattered
throughout the work. The information on this page is taken from the online version referenced below, which is undated, but which I believe accurately reflects the material in the original 1873 edition. I learned about the existence of this book from Edwin Corrie. A full copy of the work can be accessed online here. ********** Analysis A description of the game of Consequences
********** A description of the game of Capping Verses
********** The Catherine of Cleves Box
********** Dart and Target - Paper Flights for Darts
********** The Paper Dart

The accompanying article also mentions Percy Bysshe Shelley's fascination with paper boats:
