About this book
Ralph Nevill traces the London club back to the coffee-houses and taverns where the word first took hold, with early stories of the Mermaid and the Apollo. He then moves through Pratt's, the beefsteak clubs and the St. James's Street houses of Boodle's, Arthur's, White's and Brooks's, before turning to elections, committees, fines, cards and supper clubs. Later chapters take in the Travellers', Reform, Carlton, Athenaeum, Garrick and many more, closing with the Jockey Club at Newmarket and the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes. The 1911 edition has nine plates.
