Written by a lecturer on the subject, this includes the value of a number of sports, exercises and good bodily care - Hygiene of the Skin and Treatment of the Complexion' etc - and refers back to the Greek traditions which 'produced men and women that have remained the models of art adown [sic] the ages'. Includes diagrams illustrating positions. The dark green cloth-covered boards have noticeable wear, especially on corners and the spine which has some tears and material missing. Gilt lettering is elegant; binding is good bar for the front board and endpaper hinge, where the netting is evident in the guttering. Dark endpapers; pencil markings on endpapers, and the remnants of what was presumably a pink label of some sort; note that this book is not quite complete, finishing at what must be virtually the end on p 226.
