It is indeed, sir. The Library of Congress doesn't seem to have many other works by him, and I have no idea how much he actually published, be it under his own name or otherwise.
It's an intriguing book of poetry from the early days of cycling, and, even if this author proves to be unrecordable for me, I hope somebody else will be intrigued.

Hi Erin
You may be able to record this one if the Rule of Shorter Term is applied. I recorded Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend (who died in 1960) under that provision. However, the situation with the Rule appears to be more complicated in European countries than it is in Australia. Here is a link for further information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_the_shorter_term

Thank you for this, Algy. I knew of the rule of the shorter term, but for whatever reason had remembered it primarily in connection with Australian-based readers and hadn't considered its applicability in the EU.
As I understand it, I think it won't offer me a workaround for this poem, this time. I will, however, bear it (and requesting PG clearance) in mind, as I can see it being quite useful in future.
I've found a piece that I hope you like. Fencing has certainly changed in two hundred years!
'Disarming' from The Art of Defence on Foot, with the Broad Sword and Sabre (1804), pp. 67-69.
Author: I've attributed it to John Taylor but have not had any success finding his year of birth or death. The online catalogues of the National Library of Scotland and British Library give slightly conflicting information, attributing it to the printer (Roworth) and/or illustrator (Porter). If you can more detailed information I'd be quite happy to alter the intro/outro.
A tribute to one of my favorite childhood sports. Some of the terms are different, and the types of marbles with sight variations in the games, but still remarkably the same.
Hi Erin, That's great! I'll get it into the MW and PL for you this evening. Phil

Wonderful! Who'd have thought a game of marbles could be so complicated?
A couple of small corrections:
7:40 - I heard "take ten feet back" for "ten feet back"
14:49 - I heard "By the time all have become duck kings" for "By the time all have become king ducks"

"Marbles" from Healthful Sports for Boys Pub. 1910

It seems to make sense to read 'John Taylor' as the author, but I'll have to take advice from MaryAnn on the catalogue. We have more than one John Taylor, but I suspect that this is not one of them.

This collection is in danger of turning into a celebration of the rugged victorian male! Would anyone like to restore the balance with a chapter or two from the Sportswoman's Library?
