Announcement: Godfrey's Treatise available

Postby PeteWalsh » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:22 am

Dear ARMA members

About ten years ago we published a 250th anniversary reprint of Capt John Godfrey's "A Treatise Upon The Useful Science of Defence".

We recently discovered a couple of boxes left in our stockroom and are making them available for sale via Paypal on our website.

For those not familiar with the "Treatise", it is often cited as the first ever book on boxing, though it deals mainly with the sword. Godfrey was a noted English soldier of the day and trained with many of the masters he describes. It's truly a historic work and I believe only about half a dozen of the original quarto edition, published in 1747, still exist

Copies are available for £7.99. Postage and packing is free in the UK, £3.99 to Europe and £4.49 to the USA/Canada.

Our wesbite is www.milobooks.com

Thanks to the Webmaster for permission to post this message.
