Excerpt from Practical Rowing: With Scull and Sweep; And the Effects of Training

Time may have been when rowing existed only as a means of getting from one place to another on the water, - a time which need not concern the present treatment Of the subject, except as it fur nishes examples for comparison with the art or, as it has come to be, the sport Of rowing to-day.

Rowing very naturally divides itself into two branches; under one, head comes Sculling or in dividual rowing, under the other head Rowing properly so called, collective and organized sweep rowing in pairs, fours, and eights.
