The Theory and Practice of Fencing is an original treatment of fencing. There are three schools or systems of fencing methods, the French, Italian, and Spanish. This book does not attempt to follow any of these schools entirely, but emphasizes French methods for foil, Italian methods for sabre, and an eclectic method derived entirely from the author's experience for dueling sword. Along with over 100 illustrated sets of practice exercises the methods presented in this book differ from the classical methods of any school and create a complete and comprehensive text on fencing. Useful to those who strive to become proficient in this sport under the handicap of having no instructor as well as used to advantage by many who have fenced for varying periods of time, for fencing may be practiced many years and still one will find new and entirely unimagined aspects of the sport to renew and revitalize one's interest in it.

It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography ...
