Excerpt from Rowing For the rest, I have endeavoured to make the rowing instructions which will be found in this book as concise as was compatible with perfect clearness, assuming at all times that I was ad dressing myself first of all to the novice. No doubt other oarsmen will differ here and there from my conclusions. Absolute unanimity on every detail of rowing is not to be expected. All I can do is to assure my readers that nothing has been set down here the truth and accuracy of which I have not proved - at least, to my own satisfaction.
