“Due attention has also to be had to the position of the body. The side, which is by much the narrowest, should be carefully given—the belly drawn in, and the right thigh and leg placed so as to cover the left; at the same time the right hip must be twisted a little, so as merely to cover or guard the lower extremities of the belly.”
Steinmetz’s survey, originally published in 1868, of duelling, including: the history of duelling, consideration of sword and pistol, the challenge, selection of a second, and the code of honour. Also includes to accounts of actual duels.
