This treatise on the mechanics, effects, and classification of
special exercises describes the Swedish system of educational
gymnastics. The author argues that Swedish gymnastics must be the
basis of all rational gymnastics since it is the only system whose
details have been elucidated by and derived from mechanics,
anatomy, physiology, and psychology. At the time of original
publication in 1896, Baron Nils Posse was a graduate of the Royal
Gymnastic Central Institute (Stockholm), Special Swedish
Commissioner to The World's Colombian Exposition, Honorary Vice
President to The World's Congress of Physical Education Chicago
1893, and Director of the Posse Gymnasium, Boston.
