"What State was named first; give its history?" Answer, "Florida, discovered in 1512 by De Leon; ceded to England by Spain in 1763; ceded back to Spain 1783; ceded to United States 1819."

No one is better qualified to prepare a work of this nature than Professor Nissen, and he has condensed the knowledge gained during his twenty years' experience as a teacher of physical culture and medical gymnastics into a concise, convenient, and comprehensive manual of rational home gymnastics. The unusually complete series of illustrations, all of which are reproduced from photographs, make the book of exceptional value. For the teacher of gymnastics and physical culture, the athlete, and the man or woman, boy or girl, who is sufficiently wise to see the benefits of sensible and reasonable exercise, no better guide and hand-book has been published.
