1844AQ33592Thirsk: s.n. 1844. Manuscript on paper. 16pp. Stitched. Housed in modern navy moire cloth folder bound by John Gardener of Borough Green Kent. Single old central vertical fold. 'Do not Agincourt Cressy and gory Poitiers Prove the aim of our archers and yeomen When thousands of Gauls in despite of their spears Fell slaughtered by hundreds of bowmen.' A mid-nineteenth century manuscript in a single legible hand providing an apparently unpublished verse account of an archery meeting at Thirsk North Yorkshire. The anonymous author of the rollicking thirty-three stanza narrative was evidently a member of the Thirsk Bowmen one of England's foremost archery societies established on 3rd July 1824. The lively poem charts the course of a grand ball held at an undisclosed location in September of 1844. The celebration was most probably held to commemorate of the culmination of that year's practice season which ran from the first Tuesday of May to last Tuesday of September. Though there is no extant evidence that the event was an annual one jubilation was indeed in order as in August of 1844 the inaugural Grand National Archery Meeting had taken place; an event instituted be the secretary of the Thirsk bowmen and largely dominated by society members. The narrative itself charts the evening's festivities affectionately championing those in attendance; each referred to by a grandiose pseudonym reflecting their character or sporting achievements. The manuscript replete with in-jokes and personal anecdotes was evidently intended for circulation amongst members for both their amusement and as a token of remembrance for what was undoubtedly a joyous and somewhat raucous occasion. 'The hall is deserted the guests are all gone The chandeliers shed their effulgence on none The floor is untrodden the benches are bare The graceful and lovely no longer are there! The scene shall be ended the curtain shall fall And we'll close with a wish that's echoed by all May Thirsk have an annual Archery ball.' . 8vo. [s.n.] hardcover

Written when he was sixty-six years old, this is probably the last book which Markham wrote, and is one of his scarcest. "The practical instruction which he proceeds to give to the would-be-archer, of the bow and its use, the shooting-glove, the string, the shaft, the steel of the arrow, the feather, and the arrow-head, is reminiscent of Asham and may indeed be derived from his Toxophilus."?Poynter.

1830187726Philadelphia: R. H. Hobson 1830. Archery. the best probably of the gymnastic exercises First and sole edition of this rare guide attractively preserved in original state. The United Bowmen was the first archery club founded in the United States and this manual largely based on Thomas Waring's A Treatise of Archery London 1814 the first such text produced in the United States. Just 15 copies traced institutionally all in America. The club was founded in 1828 by artist and natural historian Titian Ramsay Peale 1799-1885 who had just returned from Stephen Harriman Long's expedition to the Rocky Mountains and "feeling the want of outdoor exercise" Davidson p. 1 and inspired by observation of the "Indians settled West of the Mississippi" with whose habits he was "entirely familiar" introduction p. vi settled on archery as a suitable pastime. Along with half a dozen other gentlemen - including fellow artist Thomas Sully who provided the sketch for the frontispiece - he set about formalizing a constitution for a society not to exceed 25 members. The Manual offers a brief history of the practice a discussion of the equipment required and its maintenance technique shooting drill and a guide to archer's etiquette mostly drawn from Waring but with occasional references by way of historical anecdote to Ascham's Toxophilus. By the time of Davidson's celebration of of the UBP Peale the last original member had died and membership had dwindled the new generation having found novel occupations and distractions; so the last "remains. have been gathered together and are deposited as a final resting place in the hall of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Sic transit gloria Sagittariorum Conjunctorum".
