Excerpt from Club Makers and Club Members This volume is at least true to its title in that, unlike the several excellent club histories, from John Timbs to Major Arthur Griffiths and Mr. Ralph Nevill, all now standard and universally accessible works, it does not aim at bringing together interesting, and now more or less familiar, details concerning club structures, within and without, the cost of their erection, the fines or subscriptions paid by their members, their scale of coffee-room prices, and the profit or loss of their conduct.
