I have republished "Archery, Fencing, and Broadsword" by "Stonehenge" and
Wood
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/archery-fencing-and-broadsword/7757776
The ebook download is, as always, free.
Blurb:
Writing in 1863 John Henry "Stonehenge" Walsh and Rev. J. G. Wood, the
"authors" of this book, published their manual apparently intended for
the "historic combat sports" market, in vogue with the middle class of
the time.
Despite the fact that the authors engaged in whole-cloth plagiarism,
most notably, plagiarizing significant amounts from John Gaspard le
Marchant who wrote his popular military and Broadsword manual 67 years
prior, they compiled a fairly comprehensive yet concise little manual
covering Archer, Fencing with the Foil, and Broadsword.
The Archery section contains basics of equipment, usage, and uniform as
well as itemizing several type of competition, and even detailing the
basics of an Archery Club.
The Fencing section includes the basics of the use of the Foil,
positions, terminology, engagements, and general advice.
The Broadsword section incorporates details on the training and usage
of the Broadsword, in a Military Saber configuration, training, set
drills, and suggestions for "loose play."
