Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Gymnastic Exercises, 1825<br/><br/>Besides promoting the health, these exercises have the advantage of imparting an agreeable air and easy manners, which never fail to prepossess much in our favour. It cannot be denied, that, in every situation of life, these qualities give much relief to the mind whilst an unfavourable exterior and awkward manners, often throw ridicule even on a man of distinguished merit.
