Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of Shrewsbury School Various events have happened during the last few years which are calculated to bring Old Salopians more frequently together, and to renew or increase their interest in the school where they were educated. Of these the most important is the foundation of the Old Salopian Club, which now numbers more than seven hundred members. Under its auspices the Triennial Dinner has become a permanent institution, and the "Year Book," which is sent to all its members, supplies them with a valuable record of any occurrences connected with Shrewsbury School which are likely to be of interest to its past or present scholars. The revival of the annual Speech Day is another important event in the recent annals of the school. Two books also have appeared during the last eight years which could not fail to be of deep interest to Shrewsbury men. First, Dr Calvert's admirable edition of the Regestum Scholarium from 1562 to 1635, which was published in 1892; and, secondly, The Life and Letters of Dr. Samuel Battler, edited by his grandson, which appeared in 1896. Another book, and one which will perhaps excite greater interest among the younger generations of Salopians, may, not improbably, see the light before the present year comes to an end. It comprises, among other matters of school interest, a list of Shrewsbury scholars during the past century, with biographical notes, on which the Rev. J. E. Auden has bestowed much time and labour. It remains for me now to speak briefly of the volume to which these words are intended to form an Introduction.

Book Description
The story of the creation of Britain's national game has often been told. According to the accepted wisdom, the refined football games created by English public schools in the 1860s subsequently became the sports of the masses. Football, The First Hundred Years, provides a revisionist history of the game, challenging previously widely-accepted beliefs. Harvey argues that established football history does not correspond with the facts. Football, as played by the 'masses' prior to the adoption of the public school codes is almost always portrayed as wild and barbaric. This view may require considerable modification in the light of Harvey's research. Football's First One Hundred Years provides a very detailed picture of the football played outside the confines of the public schools, revealing a culture that was every bit as sophisticated and influential as that found within their prestigious walls. Football, The First Hundred Years sets forth a completely revisionist thesis, offering a different perspective on almost every aspect of the established history of the formative years of the game. The book will be of great interest to sports historians and football enthusiasts alike.
