In 1721, Jean Jamain de BeauprŽ published his Very easy method for instruction in the Art of the Sword, a bilingual fencing treatise, in French and German. At this time, BeauprŽ was fencing master of the university in Ingolstadt, a position to which he had been appointed in 1716 by Maximilian II Emanuel, Prince-elector of Bavaria.

In his Very easy method, BeauprŽ outlines a fencing system with the single sword, that is based on the four main thrusts and strongly emphasises the parry-riposte as Òthe best principle in the artÓ. He does so in a straightforward, concise manner, that is easy to follow. To support his descriptions, BeauprŽ includes 25 clear engravings by an unknown artist.

In this book, you will find an English translation of BeauprŽÕs Very easy method, including all 25, digitally cleaned plates. In addition, you will find a discussion of BeauprŽÕs work, comparing it to other fencing treatises of its time, as well as a biography focused on BeauprŽÕs time in Ingolstadt.

Really nice shoes

My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
