Synopsis	This book - number 12 in Foulsham's Sports Library series - is an updated version of one with an identical title published about a decade earlier which bears the name of James Hartley alone. The contents list of the later version is as follows and, not surprisingly, has many similarities with the earlier publication: Brief History of Bowls from Mediaeval to Modern Times For the Beginner Points and Qualities in Players Common to Rink and Crown Green Bowls, Amateur and Professional Estimating Land and Length Differences in Rink and Crown Green Bowls Rink Play - Forming a Rink and the Duties of the Players in the Rink The Professional Game - Differences Between Amateur and Professional Indoor Bowls The laws of the rink game (as adopted by the International Bowling Board, 11 July, 1946) and the crown green game (undated) are also included. How to Play Bowls Scientifically fails to live up to its title and is of limited historical interest. Also by Harold Percy Webber: Bowls Bowls (co-author Dr John William Fisher) Bowls - How to Improve Your Game (co-author Dr John William Fisher) The Modern Technique of Bowls (co-author Dr John William Fisher) Also by James Hartley: The Ancient Game of Bowls and its Modern Practice Bowler's Complete Guide to the Crown Green and Rink Games Bowls - How to Play the Crown Green and Rink Games How to Play Bowls Scientifically
