AUTHOR'S NOTE
At the request of many of those who attended my course of
lectures, delivered before the University of Oxford during the
Lent Term, 1909, I have collected and illustrated some of the
more important notes dealing with the Development of European
Defensive Armour and Weapons. These pages are not a mere
reprint of those lectures, nor do they aspire to the dignity of
a History of Armour. They are simply intended as a handbook
for use in studying history and a short guide to the somewhat
intricate technicalities of the Craft of the Armourer.
No work, even of the smallest dimensions, can be produced
at the present day without laying its author under a deep sense
of indebtedness to Baron de Cosson for his numerous notes on
helms and helmets, and to Viscount Dillon for his minute and
invaluable researches in every branch of this subject. To this
must be added a personal indebtedness to the latter for much
assistance, and for the use of many of the illustrations given in
this work and also in my course of lectures.
CHARLES FFOULKES.
