The exercises were commonly practiced in anopen space under the oaks which shaded a neighboring hill.Many visitors went away to spread the news of methodsfollowed here; but even more influential was the long seriesof books published by GutsMuths, some of which deservedlyrank as classics. They include Gymnastics for the Young(1793), a remarkable book on Games (1796), manuals ofSwimming (1798) and Mechanical Avocations (1801), aBook of Gymnastics for the Sons of the Fatherland (1817),and a Catechism of Gymnastics (1818).
