Contents. A valuable source of information concerning the arming, training
and exercising of both cavalry and infantry. In the former branch,
cuirassiers, mounted harquebusiers, and dragoons had now superseded menat-arms
and lancers ;
*
the latter was formed of pikemen, musketeers, harquebusiers,
and halberdiers. The original MS. (Stowe MSS. 438) is under a
different title, viz. : "An Awakt Memorye, or A callinge to acounte of those
Preceptts and Dutyes which belonge to the Captaynes, Muster masters, and
other offycers of y* Trayned Bandes. . . . ^y Gervase Markham.**

Markham, in Bk. IL of his "Cavalerice or the English Horseman" (Edward
White, London, 1607, 4"; and E. AUde for E. White, London, 161 7-1 6- 17, 4%
8 pts., corre6led), devotes a chapter (23) to instru6tion in the use of the lance. To
this work the same remark applies as to the "Art of Riding" of Astley, and to the
original works on equitation of Blundeville (v. No. 11).
