Laid-into this book is a vintage life-size (small) 13 page photocopy of one particular chapter of James Grierson's 1807 holy grail of golf literature Delineations of St. Andrews. Delineations of St. Andrews was written as a history book of the Scottish town St. Andrews, coincidently the town where the first golf club originated. The chapter is titled "The Company of Golfers" and considered to be the earliest important literature on the sport of golf. One passage in the laid-in copy has red underlining of a passage that explains the antiquated golf phrase "the like" further explaining how Bernard Darwin came up with the title of his book. VG.
