This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Important Collection of Ancient Arms and Weapons and Accoutrements, Collected by Mr. Theodore Offerman, of New York: To Which Have Been Added Other Valuable Specimens Contributed by Several Well Known Collectors MY dear mr. Kirby: You have asked me to 'say a few words about the present collection of Arms and Armor, on the ground that 'i had long been a collector and that I might there fore comment helpfully upon the text of this. Catalogue and upon the nice things: which are soon to be sold.' Be this help even a little, I am glad to send you these lines. For while one can claim to be at least an 'old local collector, whose practical memories of sales, go back to the Cogniat (1877) and Carleton Gates (about 1880) Collections, he need. Hardly maintain that he knows a/u, fond the ins! And outs of a subject as extended and difficult as ancient arms and armor. Experience in collect ing, however, certainly does aid one not a little (at great initial cost) in separating the good objects from the bad. The fact of the matter is, that most of our earlier collectors had to depend for their expert knowledge upon the arms which they purchased, or failed to purchase, at public sales; and you will, of course, recall thatit is only within very recent years that arms. And armor appeared in American museums. Before this, he who had the taste for collecting these beautiful and-very rare objects had either to go abroad for his training or to glean what information he could - unsatisfactory at the best for his purpose - from the shelves of libraries. As to the present collection: Mr. Offerman's cabinet is like good wine - it needs no bush. Many of our amateurs know various pieces in it, and many, like myself, have bid in vain for some of its numbers at earlier sales. In general, its piece-s were chosen because they appealed individually to their collector - who Chose because he fancied the lines of an object, or its decoration, and who was not, like some of us, trying to fill in the spaces: in a pre arranged sequence of types - when as Mr. Ambrose Monell re marks, collecting becomes a disease. I might note only that Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.
