THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ARCHERY, BY THE LATE HORACE FORD . NEW EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED AND RE-WRITTEN BY W. BUTT

A new edition of Horace Ford's original work which first appeared in articles in the Field and were then republished in book form in 1856, with a second edition in 1859. Thus, this could be called the third edition; it has been extensively revised by W. Butt, a one-time Hon. Sec. of the Royal Toxophilite Society. New edition. 8vo. x + 296pp. Engraved frontis. 1 sepia-tinted photographic plate & 28 text illustrations, mainly plans & diags. Title-page printed in black and red lettering. Original dark green cloth with gilt crest of the Toxophillite Society to front cover and title in gilt lettering to the spine. Ex. Boys Library, Wellington College, hence book-plate and reference code at the tail of the spine. Ink dedication to the front end-paper, dated 1887. An unusually bright copy.
