Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Secrets of the Sword: Translated From the Original French of Baron De Bazancourt

Compared with boxing, fencing has the advantage that it can be continued even into Old age. Now, however willing one may be to be punched and pommelled, there usually comes a time when it is inconvenient to appear in public with a black eye or a bruised cheek. Few men who take to fencing and master the preliminary stages can make up their minds to give it up, until they are obliged to do so for want of time or opportunity.
