The Badminton Library, called in full The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes, was a sporting and publishing project conceived by Longmans Green & Co. and edited by Henry Somerset, 8th Duke of Beaufort (1824–1899). Between 1885 and 1902 it developed into a series of sporting books which aimed to cover comprehensively all major sports and pastimes. The books were published in London by Longmans, Green & Co.[1] and in Boston by Little, Brown & Co.
The series was dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, "one of the best and keenest sportsmen of our time".[2][3]
