'As an expert boxer, and an established master of the art who has taught many champions, professional and amateur, on lines which have led to their success, I may claim the right to speak with some authority upon the practical and scientific methods and advantages of boxing.' 'It is true that the most elaborate instructions, given in the best books, can never take the place of actual practice in the ring, but the advice and indirect guidance of any recognised expert is always helpful.' A. J. Newton
