BROADSWORD FENCING.
The Lessons in Broadsword are divided into three parts: I. The Moulinets,* which are for the purpose of instructing the pupil in cuts and exercising the wrist. Moulinet is the French for a small windmill, and is, as will be seen, a most appropriate word. II. The Broadsword Exercise, which is intended simply as an exercise. III. Lessons for practice, in which some instructions are given, so far as is possible in writing, as to actual fencing or combat.
THE MOULINETS.
1. There are only three general cuts known to Broadsword fencing, and these are embodied in the Moulinets. Frequent practice of these gives flexibility to the wrist and they should never be neglected.

4. 1st position.—Extend the right arm directly in front of the body, holding the sword pointed horizontally to the front in tierce, that is with the edge turned up, the back of the hand to the left, the fingers turned down towards the ground. (Fig. 9.)
5. 2nd position.—Bring the hand in as direct a line as possible to the left shoulder, keeping the edge of the sword constantly up, and the back of your hand looking you right in the face. (Fig. 1.)
6. 3rd position.—Bring the sword over, causing the point to describe a circular upward sweep in the left and rear of the person, and strike directly in front as far out as you can reach; bring the edge down, and the point on a level with the eyes. This finishes the left flank moulinet.
7. 4th position.—Without arresting the sword at the last named point, bring it in a downward circular sweep by the right side, to the right and rear of the body. In doing
