About This Item
New York, James Cummins, 1992.. Large 8°, publisher's red cloth, gilt. As new. (1 l.), xvi, 537, (1) pp., (1 l.), 31 ll. of plates. *** Facsimile reprint on acid-free paper, in 250 copies only, of the greatly revised and augmented, preferred edition of this standard bibliography, originally published London, 1896. Thimm based this important bibliography upon a small work he had issued five years earlier, A Complete Bibliography of the Art of Fence. The present work includes references to manuscripts (including those in the British Museum, the Bodleian, and other British libraries), books, and periodicals. Particularly useful are the references to articles on fencing and duelling in nineteenth-century English newspapers and periodicals. Appended (pp. 439-538) are extensive "Notes on [the history of] Fencing & Duelling."*** Besterman 2139: best authority to date.
