[book] Scientific Boxing. By James J. Corbett. Together with hints on training and the official rules. Photograph poses by Jimmy Britt, Billy Britt, Frankie Neil and Kid Murphy, George McFadden and Danny Duane. [with photographs of notable boxers]

12mo, 110 + [xvi] pp. Lacking the cover carrying picture of Corbett, and leaf carrying pp. 1-2, which should have the photo of Richard K. Fox on the second page. Stapled. In poor condition, on stained art paper. Foreword ('Boxing as a science') with facsimile of Corbett's signature on p.23. The other 48 full-page photographic illustrations are present, including three portraits of Corbett ('Gentleman Jim' and 'Pompadour Jim), James J. Jeffries ('Champion of the World'), Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, John L. Sullivan, Tommy Ryan ('Middleweight Champion'), Joe Gans ('Holder of the lightweight title'), Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Aurelia Herrera ('The Mexican'), Clever Tommy Murphy, Battling Nelson of Chicago, Terry McGovern ('Terrible Terry') and Kid McCoy ('One of the cleverest'). Sixteen-page publisher's catalogue at rear, with each page advertising a sporting title, with a photograph of the book's cover. Scarce: the only copy on COPAC at the British Library, in whose entry the item is said to be No. 9 in 'Fox's Athletic Library'.
