Earliest Illustrated Boxing Manual In Existence

thanks pal

been downloading them

 

Cheers, will do so after work tonight.

 

Thanks CT, dl'ing now.

Bergeron may be disgusted at the Guinn robbery but thats nothing compared to how I still feel after the Valuev scandal.

JFB will rise again.

 

CT, the old manual is from 1799.

Also, looks like the letter 's' hadn't been invented back then...'fubfitution'? Its good though, enjoying reading an old treatife on felf defence.

 

Well, the roman numeralf fay feventeen ninety nine, but your right, the firft if feventeen eighty nine.

My favourite paffage fo far if ;

'It if therefore an object of fome utility and importance for a man to acquire a dexterity in Boxing, in order to defend himfelf aginft fuch rudeneff, and to protect thofe whofe weaknefs, age, or fex, renders (what the?!) them liable to the infults of the rabble, and deprives them of all power of effectual refiftance.'

Worth a download people, truft me.
