1 Jan 1790 Jahr - 1790 ANONYM (a "Highland Officer) Anti-Pugilism ...

Beschreibung:

Anti-Pugilism, or the Science of Defence exemplified in short and easy lessons, for the practice of the Broad Sword and Single Stick.
Illustrated with Copper Plates.
By a Highland Officer.

Whereby Gentlemen may become Proficients in the use of these Weapons, without the help of a
Master, and be enabled to Chastise the Insolence and Temerity, so frequently met with, from those fashionable Gentlemen, the Johnsonians, Big Bennians, and Mendozians of the present Day ; a Work perhaps, better calculated to extirpate this reigning and brutal Folly than a whole Volume of Sermons.
