This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British and Foreign Arms and Armour Charles Boutell by his translation of Lacombe did much to foster the study, but it was from a French point of view, and his epitome of English armour and arms, though excellent in its way, is only superficial, and a digest Of his great works on Monumental Brasses. In the latter he probably did more to further the study than any preceding author; he was the first to rationally systematise the arrangement of armour in periods in consonance with the salient features it possessed, thus breaking through the previous methods of classifying it by reigns, which was Obviously absurd, or by centuries, which was equally ridiculous. I have followed his method with but little variation in the pages of this book, inasmuch as no better arrangement is extant. It is a matter for great pride to myself that such standard works should have emanated from a former Hon. Secretary of the St. Albans and Herts Architectural and Archaeo logical Society, and if the present volume should in any degree further the good work of my predecessor it will have achieved the height of my ambition. Hewitt is de lightful reading, but his arrangement is unsystematic and involved; to the advanced student, however, he is invalu able. Thc later works of Demmin, Clephan, Gardner, &c., are masterly monographs upon the subject, but hopelessly out Of place in the hands of a beginner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Armour in England The enthusiasm felt for armour is not surprising; its interest is so many-sided. Not only are collectors fascinated by it, but students of history, artists, and antiquaries. As mere decoration it appeals to some, and finds a place in their abodes; but it is among artistic people that its more ardent admirers are found. Hence it is far from rare to find the glint of arms and weapons lighting up the artist's walls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armour and Weapons in the Middle Ages The study of brasses has become of redoubled interest since the Great War, inasmuch as many examples on the Continent disappeared during the War years. In number these memorials were never very great, and could not bear comparison with those in the British Isles to-day, there fore, more than ever, England's proud position of being the home of sepulchral brasses, and the only country where they may be studied in their full development, is unchallenge able. The fact only needs to be stated to ensure that every patriotic child of Britain who sees a brass in danger of injury or destruction will make an effort to preserve it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Arms and Armor, European and Oriental, Including the William H. Riggs Collection It is, then, from an examination of good specimens of armor and arms of various periods that one real izes that they well deserve their place in a museum of art. And in this conclusion we need consider neither their historical value, as a means of picturing more accurately scenes and personages of known periods, nor their sentimental interest - which they possess to a degree rarely found in other Objects of art - nor their supposed mystical significance. In the last regard, we recall the myths of god-like armorers and enchanted arms, which belonged to all early times and to all peoples.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of European Armour and Arms Through Seven Centuries, Vol. 2 The Baron de Cosson has spared himself neither time nor trouble in courteously replying to the many inquiries that I have addressed him. In writing his book Sir Guy Laking did not think it necessary to give precise references to the authorities from which he quoted; moreover, his authorities were often opinions of experts expressed to him viva woe. If I have succeeded in verifying most of the references to books, it has been mainly due to the help of Mr. Charles Beard, who possesses a wide and accurate acquaintance with the literature of Arms and Armour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval Powers and Their Policy: Tabular Statements of British and Foreign Ironclad Navies; Giving Dimensions, Armour, Details of Armament, Engines, Speed, and Other Particulars The object of the following pages is to convey, in language as little technical as possible, information upon a somewhat technical subject, in which every Englishman is interested. My only excuse for submitting them to the public is that the detailed information contained in them is not to be found in any other book. I would not for a moment compare this volume with the many elaborate works on naval subjects with which our own literature and that of other countries, of France in particular, abounds. But these works treat rather of naval architecture as an art, than of the actual and relative power of fleets. Anybody in the least acquainted with these subjects must be aware of the utterly misleading impression conveyed by the usual description of a fleet as consisting of a certain number of vessels, of a total of so many thousand tons, and one, two, or three hundred guns, as the case may be.
