Principles of Squad Instruction for the Broadsword (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Principles of Squad Instruction for the Broadsword

The design of this work in the Broadsword Manual is not to present anything new or origi nal, but simply to give, if possible, uniformity to the exercise with a most important weapon of attack and defense.

The instructions herein contained have formed, during the past two years, part of the Course of Fencing at the Naval Academy; and the good results there attained have induced the author to put the method before the officers of the navy generally.
