| Text | Dongens! Wat zal er gespeld worden? (Boys! What Shall We Play?) [Leeuwarden, G. T. N. Suringar], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 215. A 163-page book of games and exercises for young boys, which Block finds is "loaded with hand-colored engravings." The book's section on ball games includes a translation of the 1828 rounders rules from The Boy's Own Book (see 1828 entry, above), under the heading Engelsch balspel (English ball). A second game is De wip (the whip), a kind of trap ball. Also De kat, which Block identifies as English tip-cat. |
