Hints on Billiards
It may be as well to explain briefly the raison d’etre of this modest volume.
“Billiards,” by Joseph Bennett (ex-Champion), edited by the well-known “Cavendish,” is universally admitted to be a standard work. It is, however, written for those amateurs who either possess tables of their own, with time and inclination to practise, or who care to hire club or public tables at regular intervals for the purposes of practising, the “set” strokes mathematically laid down therein.
