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.
printed for G. Strahan, at the Golden Ball in Cornhill
