From Wikipedia;
The Badminton Library, called in full The Badminton Library
of Sports and Pastimes, was a sporting and publishing project conceived and founded 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. and in Boston by Little, Brown & Co.

The series was dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, "one of the best and online keenest sportsmen of our time".
