Summary "The School of Recreation" by R. H. is a practical guide on various outdoor sports and recreational activities written in the late 17th century. The text discusses a wide range of pursuits such as hunting, fishing, racing, shooting, hawking, and more, aiming to educate gentlemen on the skills and knowledge needed to partake in these exercises effectively. It emphasizes the balance between work and recreation, portraying these activities not only as means of enjoyment but also as essential for physical health and mental well-being. The opening of the work sets the stage by underscoring the importance of recreation in maintaining physical vigor and mental clarity, discussing how lawful recreational activities can counteract the weariness of daily labor. It previews several sports, beginning with hunting, while outlining the necessary skills, techniques, and knowledge required for a successful pursuit. The author aims to instruct readers on the various animals to hunt, the equipment needed, and the general principles that govern these activities, providing a thorough foundation for understanding the customs and practices surrounding outdoor sports.
