Reading edition
The “Encyclopædia of Bodily Exercises” (Encyklopädie der Leibesübungen. Three volumes, 1794, 1795, 1818) published by Gerhard Ulrich Anton Vieth (1763-1836) of the Dessau Hauptschule (not the Philanthropinum), and the important pioneer work of Don Francisco Amoros (1770-1848) in Madrid and Paris and of Phokion Heinrich Clias (1782-1854) in Switzerland, England, and France, are omitted here for lack of space, but have been discussed at length in an article which appeared in the American Physical Education Review for June, 1904 (IX: 89-110). The sketches of Amoros and Clias, without bibliography, are reprinted as chapters V and VI in the writer’s “Pioneers of Modern Physical Training” (New York, Association Press, 1915).
