Original plain boards with paper spine. Backstrip gone except that the original paper spine label is still largely intact. Joints weak, with rear board nearly detached. Untrimmed. 111, 8 pp., with 6 uncolored folding plates showing various exercises. The plates appear to be early lithographs, with no printing or design credits.…First edition in English of Clias's treatise on gymnastic exercises, dedicated to the Commander in Chief of the British Army, and with a printed recommendation from the Directors of the Orphan School at Berne, where Clias had taught for five years. Originally published in 1816 in German under the title of Anfangsgruende der Gymnastik oder Turnkunst. Exercises are divided into those benefiting the lower and upper extremities, with instruction on walking, running and jumping, arm exercises, balancing and dancing, including dancing with a hoop, skipping, skating, vaulting, and use of the parallel bars. The last eight pages are extensive advertisements for two works: Myers' Modern Geography and Jennings' Family Cyclopaedia. Published by Sherwood, Jones and Co.
