A New System of Sword Exercise, With a Manual of the Sword for Officers, Mounted and Dismounted, by Matthew J. O'Rourke, was first published in New York in 1872. This fascinating historical military manual provides a detailed guide to the practical use of the sword by officers, both mounted and dismounted, while also covering the ceremonial aspects of military life. The work sets out systematic instruction in fundamental guards, cuts and movements, with separate drills for combat on foot and from the saddle. Alongside its practical instruction, O'Rourke provides guidance on military inspections, reviews and parades, offering an intriguing insight into the discipline, training and ceremonial conventions of the period. Clearly illustrated with instructional line drawings, the book is an important primary source for anyone interested in nineteenth-century swordsmanship, military training and cavalry practice.
