DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Ancient Armour and Weapons in Europe: From the Iron Period of the Northern Nations to the End of the Seventeenth Century; Supplement, Comprising the 15th, 16th, and 17th Centuries It is by no means contended that a complete examina tion of these later centuries would not be desirable; but, to effect this, our little work would be so much augmented in bulk and costliness, that our chief hope of its usefulness, a wide circulation among artists and students, (to a certain number of whom the expensiveness of a book is a seri ous Obj ection, ) would be materially diminished. We have therefore resolved to adopt the plan already indicated: in carrying it into effect, we shall endeavo ur, by giving numerous references, to make it an easy task for the stu dent to complete the investigation by his own researches. It may be further remarked that, on quitting the four teenth century, the fashions Of armour are much more easy to be understood than before. Defences of plate being now generally adopted, the differences of suits are principally differences of form; and, as remains of real arm our and weapons of this time are to be found in many Collections.
