Rules and Regulations for the Sword Exercise of the Cavalry

Treatise 1796 English United Kingdom

John Gaspard Le Marchant, Robert H. Craig

Dated 1 December 1796. The title page is officially corporate, while bibliographic authorities attribute the system to Le Marchant.

Quality phase 526: duplicate work 1280 consolidated into this canonical work. The 1802 American revision and 1803 London issue belong to the Le Marchant cavalry sword-exercise family first issued in 1796.

Legacy record 1280: HEWES (ROBERT) [ofBoston, U.S.]. —Rules andregulations for the sword exercise of the Cavalry. Towhich is added thereview exercise. The 2nd American from the London Edition.

H-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-h, source entry 1006.

Gelli cites both the 1802 Hewes American issue and a related 1812 Craig cavalry-sword issue, suggesting a broader Anglo-American sword-exercise family.

Castle also records the 1802 Philadelphia Hewes American cavalry-sword revision.

Quality phase 230: corrected from article to printed monograph after exact-resource review.

Enrichment phase 586: authority, responsibility and manifestation fields checked individually.

Quality phase 653: work 1924 consolidated into this canonical work. Same official Le Marchant cavalry exercise family; separate 1796 issue retained.

London. [29foldingplates.] (InCaptainHutton's Collection,andintheSouthKensingtonMuseum.) Former historical notes: Official British cavalry exercise manual family anchored on the London 1796 Rules and Regulations for the Sword Exercise of Cavalry. Castle also preserves a 1799 London Sword Exercise for Cavalry witness within the same family. Anonymous authorship flag aligned with explicit author statement in quality phase 98a.

Quality phase 653: work 2946 consolidated into this canonical work. Same official cavalry exercise family; 1797 manifestation retained.

Undated London regulations attributed institutionally to His Majesty’s Company; subsequent museum-object references were excluded. Individually bibliographically reviewed in phase 94 against the complete source entry and, where needed, independent catalogue evidence.

Quality phase 653: former works 1924 and 2946 were consolidated here. Their 1796 xii, 98, [2]-page issue and 1797 [4], 58-page manifestation remain separate editions alongside the existing family.
