Toxophilus is a book written by Roger Ascham in 1545, which is a treatise on the art of archery. The book is divided into two parts and is written in the form of a dialogue between two characters, Toxophilus and Philologus. The first part of the book is a discussion of the benefits of archery, including its use in warfare and hunting, as well as its contribution to physical fitness and moral character. The second part of the book is a technical manual on the art of archery, including discussions of different types of bows, arrows, and shooting techniques. Ascham's book is considered a classic of English literature and has been influential in the development of the sport of archery. This edition of the book was published in 1821 and includes an introduction by the editor, as well as annotations and footnotes to help modern readers understand the text.To Which Is Added, A Dedication And Preface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
