| Notes: | Pages 1 to 119 are printed from stereotype plates first used to print Hardie.US.1. Pages 120 to 256 are printed from stereotype plates first used to print Anners.Games.1844. Pages 257 to 269 are newly printed material.There are many reimpressions of this book. Anners published an impression dated 1847 and many impressios without a date on the title page. Brown, Bazin & Co. published an undated version. Some impressions are 278 pages, adding material on bowls and blind hookey. These are treated as Anners.Games.1848. |
