Worldcat [Link<\/a>]I\u2019ll point out that a contemporary review of Meyrick\u2019s work was not favorable. You can read it here: [Google Books<\/a>]\n
Worldcat [Link]You can see a preview on Google Books<\/a> – it appears that each entry is rather comprehensive, so this is potentially very good.
Publisher\u2019s Description:\u00a0Widely considered the classic book in the field, George Cameron Stone\u2019s\u00a0A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor in All Countries and in All Times\u00a0is an indispensable resource and reference tool for anyone interested in arms and armor. Originally published in 1934, it remains an essential guide to the field. To describe the worldwide range and variety of weaponry, Stone drew upon the more than 4,000 items in his private collection of Eastern arms and armor, as well as the European arms collection of New York\u2019s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a variety of other sources. Since the author subsequently bequeathed his entire collection to the Metropolitan Museum, this volume serves as an abbreviated visual reference to that institution\u2019s Arms and Armor collection.<\/em>
By profession a metallurgist, the author focused on techniques of manufacture and workmanship to derive his method of codifying the typology of weapons, relying on an alphabetized dictionary format to avoid the confusions he found in a field without standardized nomenclature. This \u201cglossary\u201d format makes it easy for anyone to locate material on the astonishing variety of weapons covered. These include arquebuses, blunderbusses, flintlocks, wheel locks, matchlocks, and other antique guns; German armor; French rapiers; Roman short swords; Turkish crossbows; all the Japanese bladed weapons (katana, wakizashi, naginata, etc.); the East Asian kris in its countless permutations; and many more.<\/em>
Illustrated with 875 detailed figures, incorporating thousands of individual photographs and drawings, the book was written from the unique viewpoint of an expert who devoted a lifetime to the field. Hard to locate today (original editions are worth hundreds of dollars), Stone\u2019s Glossary represents a peerless resource for scholars, experts, collectors, students, hobbyists, and institutions \u2014 any student of the long history and development of weapons and armor around the world.<\/em>
