Excerpts from the book:

"The first thing to be attended to by the Young Learner is to hold the Sticks properly:-- the upper, or left hand stick is the most difficult to be managed at first:- it must be firmly held between the Thumb and two middle fingers, to rest on the third finger a little above the middle joint."

"The lower, or right hand stick must be held fast with the little finger, and be allowed to play with ease through the others, as a man may use a stick in fencing."

"The next to be learnt is to close a Roll:- begin with two heavy strokes with the upper, or left hand, then two with the right, and so on, quickening the time till the Roll is closed."

"It is necessary that the larner should first practice the long Roll untill he can close it handsomely: then go on with the Lessons, one by one, as they are here placed, and by no means undertake the Second 'till he can with ease close the first."
