A new, short, and easy method of fencing: or, the art of the broad and small-sword rectified and compendized. Wherein The Practice of these Two Weapons is reduced to so Few and General Rules, that any Person of a indifferent Capacity, and ordinary Agility of Body, may in a very short Time attain to, not only a sufficient Knowledge of the Theory of this art, but also to a considerable Adroitness in Practice; either for the Defence of Life, upon a Just Occasion, or Preservation of his Reputation and Honour, in any accidental Scuffle, or Trifling Quarrel. By Sir William Hope, Baronet.
