Few men of military rank or genteel birth would have had, at least, some lessons in the art of fencing. This useful 1740's pamphlet concentrates on the useful techniques of Defense with the SMALL and BACK-SWORD. Historical swordsmen and boxers will find this discourse on defense useful. Although it covers more for the Back-Sword, it does have a useful section for the small sword and English boxing. One reviewer thought this may be the earliest publication regarding boxing.
​76pg - 5 1/4" x 7 1/2"
