Pancratia, or, A history of pugilism : containing a full account of every battle of note from the time of Broughton and Slack down to the present day. Interspersed with anecdotes of all the celebrated pugilists of this country. With an argumentative proof, that pugilism, considered as a gymnic exercise, demands the admiration, and patronage of every free state, being calculated to inspire manly courage, and a spirit of independence--enabling us to resist slavery at home and enemies from abroad. Embellished with a correct and elegant engraved portrait of the champion, Crib.
