Synopsis

Fixed Bayonets: A Complete System of Fence for the British Magazine Rifle is a book written by Alfred Hutton in 1890. The book is a comprehensive guide to the art of fencing with the British magazine rifle, which was a standard-issue weapon for the British Army at the time. The book covers all aspects of fencing with the rifle, including the different positions, movements, and techniques that are necessary for effective use of the weapon in close combat. Hutton was a renowned swordsman and military historian who had a deep understanding of the art of fencing. He was also a captain in the British Army, which gave him firsthand experience in the use of the magazine rifle. In Fixed Bayonets, he shares his knowledge and expertise with readers, providing detailed instructions and illustrations to help them master the art of fencing with the rifle. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the art of fencing with the rifle. The first chapter provides an introduction to the weapon and its use, while the subsequent chapters cover topics such as the different positions, the use of the bayonet, and the tactics and strategies that are necessary for success in close combat. Fixed Bayonets is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of military tactics and weapons, as well as for those who are interested in the art of fencing. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of experience. With its detailed instructions and illustrations, Fixed Bayonets is an essential guide to the art of fencing with the British magazine rifle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The 19th century was the century of the bayonet, and this book is probably the most complete guide to the correct use of the weapon as it was fixed to the newly introduced British magazine rifle in 1890. Alfred Hutton, whose other works include the aptly titled ‘Cold Steel’ gives an expert guide to offensive and defensive bayonet lunges, parries and positions, together with glossaries of English, French and Italian terms used in bayonet fencing. Profusely illustrated, this is surely the definitive guide to a weapon which has stubbornly retained its place in the military armoury from its introduction in the 18th century right up till today.
