Block Data:	<p>Reference to "base-ball" (or "baseball") appearing in the review of a book about calisthenics for women that appeared in a literary journal. The reviewer criticized the book's Italian author for not being aware of the many athletic activities that English women pursue. Among the games itemized by the unnamed reviewer were "base-ball, a nonsuch (sic) for eyes and arms."</p>
Sources:	<p>Review of A Treatise on Calisthenic (sic) Exercises, Arranged for the Private Tuition of Ladies, by Signor Voarino, appearing in "The London Literary Gazette; and Journal of Belles Lettres, Arts, Sciences, &amp;c.", March 24, 1827, London, p. 183</p>
Block Notes:	<p>The word "base-ball" appeared at the end of a line of text and wrapped to the next line, so it is not clear if the writer intended it to be hyphenated or if the hyphen was inserted solely for the wrap.</p>
