Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Association Football and How to Play It Then strip, lads and to it though sharp be the weather, And if by mischance you should happen to fall, There are worse things in life than a tumble in heather, And life is itself but a game of football.
