A New System of Sword Exercise for Infantry

by Richard F. Burton

Overview

Burton provides an interesting perspective on the nineteenth century sword manuals intended for military training. It is often said that the character of a person can be learned in just 5 minutes of fencing with them. This may also be true of 5 minutes of reading a fencing manual. All of Burton's fortes and foibles are on display – his knowledge, bluster, faultfinding, and sense of humor.
