| Publisher Description: This antiquarian volume contains a concise history of the sport of Boxing, written by Edward Michell. A short but detailed history of the ancient sport, "A Short History of Boxing" is highly recommend for those with an interest in pugilistic history. It would make for a very worthy addition to collections of antiquarian sporting literature. Edward Blair Michell (1843 - 1926) was an English barrister, boxer, and linguist, as well as authority on falconry and the author of a wide range of books. Many vintage texts such as this - particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before - are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
