C. Hazlitt speculates: "It is possible that this is the game which, under the name of rownes (rounds) is mentioned in &lt;u&gt;The English Courtier and the Countrey Gentleman: A Pleasant and Learned Disputation&lt;/u&gt;, 1586 [printed by Richard Jones, London]. One source attributes this work of Nicholas Breton. Protoball has not located this book.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hazlitt, W. C., &lt;u&gt;Faiths and Folklore: A Dictionary of National Beliefs, Superstitions, and Popular Customs&lt;/u&gt; (Reeves and Turner, London, 1905), vol. 2, page 527. &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Can we find this early text and evaluate whether rounders is in fact its subject? &lt;b&gt;Caveat:&lt;/b&gt; It would startle most of us to encounter any species of rounders this early; the earliest appearance of the term may be as late as 1828 - see #1828.1 below.&lt;/p&gt;".
