Succour Scotland, and remede.
That stad is in perplexyle.
That tennis might still be played in Scotland, however, is probable enough, when we remember the intimate connection between that country and France, whither so many of the young Scottish nobles went for their training in knightly accomplishments; but we find no definite mention of the game till we come to the days of the first James of Scotland.
It was in France, as we have said, that what its devotees call " the king of games " origina...ted, but the groundwork of this elaborate pastime is to be found, of course, in the simple old hand-ball play that figured so conspicuously in the e very-day life of the classical world. It is of little use to speculate in which of the varieties of ball play mentioned in ancient writers is to be found the progenitor of this pastime, a^ so much light remains to be thrown on the exact method of , play in many of the old games, but the principle of tennis in its^implest form is discernible clearly enough in pila, as 44 PASTIMES AND PLA VERS.
