Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The True Use of Arms is a book written by William Wyrley in 1853. It is a historical treatise on the proper use of arms, specifically focusing on the use of swords and other handheld weapons in battle. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of sword fighting and warfare. The first section of the book provides an overview of the history of sword fighting, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day. Wyrley discusses the different types of swords that have been used throughout history, as well as the various techniques and strategies that have been employed in battle. The second section of the book is devoted to the practical use of swords in combat. Wyrley provides detailed instructions on how to hold and wield a sword, as well as how to defend oneself against different types of attacks. He also discusses the importance of physical fitness and mental discipline in sword fighting, and provides tips on how to develop these qualities. The third section of the book focuses on the use of other handheld weapons, such as spears, axes, and maces. Wyrley provides similar instruction on how to use these weapons effectively in combat, and discusses their advantages and disadvantages compared to swords. Overall, The True Use of Arms is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of sword fighting and warfare, as well as for those who wish to learn practical techniques for using handheld weapons.

Edition : Fourth edition., Recent gilt-lined ½ calf with marble boards, spine in six compartments of raised bands, gilt text on two, four and six, gilt armorial motif on three, edges speckled red, endpapers renewed. , ?This fourth edition is dedicated to the Marquess of Hertford by Richard Blome, whose maternal grandfather, Richard Adams, in his lifetime was in his Lordship?s service. The dedication is follwed by an address ?To none but Gentlemen,? by Francis Nower, who, for the advantage of the printer, was induced to add some hundreds of Coats to the former editions, but confesses there are three families whose Arms are inserted that he could wish omitted. ?The Display? is extended to 444 pages. The ?Register of the Knights of the Garter? is dedicated to the Earl of Northumberland, and the ?Catalogue of Baronets? to Sir Edmond Bacon, by Richard Blome. These lists occupy 36 pages. Of the Baronets, F. Nower observes, there are some Coats he thought better to omit at the latter end, than to have inserted upon uncertain grounds, the printed Catalogue being defective, and the Heralds at Oxford not keeping so punctual an account of them in the hurry of a civil war as formerly.?The utility of this book is much increased, by the addition of an alphabetical Table of Names at the end, which is much wanted in the former.?This edition had scarcely been issued when the Restoration brought Heraldry into more request, and rendered a selection of the examples, upon the rise of a new party, necessary, to obtain a sale.?
