Toxophilus: The Schole Or Partitions, Of Shooting, Contained In Two Books (1821)

Toxophilus: The Schole Or Partitions, Of Shooting, Contained In Two Books (1821) is a classic book on archery written by Roger Ascham. The book is divided into two parts, and it serves as a comprehensive guide to the art of shooting. The first part of the book is a dialogue between two characters, Philologus and Toxophilus, who discuss the importance of archery and the proper techniques for shooting. The second part of the book is a detailed description of the equipment and techniques used in archery, including the types of bows and arrows, the proper stance and grip, and the various methods of shooting. Ascham's book is considered to be one of the most important works on archery ever written, and it has been widely read and studied by archers and historians alike. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and practice of archery.To Which Is Added, A Dedication And Preface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
