{ "item_title" : "Bayonet-Fencing and Sword-Practice", "item_author" : [" Alfred Hutton", "Andy Taylor "], "item_description" : "Captain Alfred Hutton's 1882 fencing-room manual, revised from his earlier treatises on swordsmanship, bayonet-fencing, and the cavalry sword. Written for practice in the salle rather than on the parade-ground, it teaches the small-sword, the bayonet, the sword-bayonet, and the sabre as one connected system. Hutton begins with the seven guards of the small-sword. The bayonet lessons cover the guard, the points, the four parries, beats and feints, the return, and strokes with the butt. The sword-bayonet is taught in five cuts, with the guard that answers each one. The second part takes up the sabre through the singlestick and the practice-sword: the seven cuts and points, the guards, the feints, and the double-rank lessons. It closes with rules for independent practice with sabre or stick, and a note on sword against bayonet. This edition is transcribed from the public-domain text of 1882 and edited by Andy Taylor. Scanner and library boilerplate has been removed, a small number of misreadings corrected, and a short list of archaic spellings in Hutton's own prose modernized. Historical quotations keep their original spelling. The text is set in continuous paragraphs.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/428/9798164284473_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "25.44", "online_price" : "25.44", "our_price" : "25.44", "club_price" : "25.44", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
