Publisher's Synopsis

The Ethics of Boxing and Manly Sport is a book written by John Boyle O'Reilly in 1888. In this book, O'Reilly explores the morality and ethics of boxing and other ""manly"" sports. He argues that while these sports can be brutal and violent, they also have the potential to teach important values such as sportsmanship, discipline, and courage. O'Reilly also discusses the history and cultural significance of boxing, as well as the role of the spectator in the sport. Throughout the book, O'Reilly emphasizes the importance of fairness, respect, and dignity in all aspects of sportsmanship. This book is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of the late 19th century regarding sports and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
