A CHARMING BOOK FOR WHEELMEN. 
A CANTERBURY PILGRIMAGE. 
Ridden, Written, and Illustrated by Joseph and Elizabeth Robins Pennell. 
One volume, square 8vo. Paper, 50 cents. 
Mr. and Mrs. Penneli.’s enthusiasm for the wheel led them to undertake this journey on a 
tricycle through the smooth, hard roads of old England, and to follow the path trod so many 
years by the Canterbury pilgrims. It is an exceedingly graceful and spirited narrative, and puts 
a feeling of breeziness in the air of these hot months. Everything prospered the tourists, and 
three more enjoyable days than those consumed in the ride from London to Canterbury Cathedral 
cannot easily be conceived. The illustrations with which the artist-authors covered their pages 
are surpassingly good. Mr. and Mrs. Pennell’s little book will, of course, particularly interest 
those who may be devoted to the “ machine.”

There has hitherto been no book treating lawn tennis as a game of skill, showing its possi¬ 
bilities and giving practical advice for the cultivation of scientific play. This Mr. Peile has done, 
and his little volume appeals directly to that large class of tennis players who are anxious to 
become proficient in the sport. Mr. R. D. Sears, who holds the championship of America, has 
added much that will interest American readers; his notes are always practical, and cannot fail 
to be of service even to experts in the game. 
The London Saturday Review, in a long review of the book, says: 
“ Mr. Peile has more than usual insight into the game of lawn tennis, and has some valuable 
teachings to bestow. His little book tells players what they ought to do and what they ought 
not to do. . . . The book is, in fact, a compendium of the game of lawn tennis, and should 
be in every player’s hands.” 
The book has had a great run in England, and in this American edition, with notes by Mr. 
Sears, it ought to become equally popular.
