| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Pedestrianism; or, An Account of the Performances of Celebrated Pedestrians…" by Walter Thom is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the remarkable feats of pedestrianism, particularly the public and private matches of Captain Barclay, while also offering insights into the physical training and capabilities of men during the recent and current centuries. The book focuses on the art of walking and running as a sport, exploring how these exercises were valued in both ancient and modern contexts. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the significance of gymnastic exercises in ancient Greece and their importance in fostering physical strength and agility essential for both sport and warfare. The author critiques contemporary military practices in Britain that neglect proper training and exercise for soldiers, arguing that adopting a regimen akin to the ancient Greek methods could enhance the physical readiness of troops. As the narrative progresses, it hints at a variety of pedestrian matches, promising a detailed account of the capabilities and triumphs of celebrated pedestrians, starting with Captain Barclay and his legendary performances.
