 Latham (John): this ‘Assistant-Commissioner for Exhibitions’ (1862, 1867, and 1873), who succeeded in business Messrs. Wilkinson and Son of Pall Mall, and who lately died, gave me copies of his two excellent papers, (1) ‘The Shape of Sword-blades,’ and (2) ‘A Few Notes on Swords in the International Exhibition of 1862’ (Journal of the R.U.S. Institution, vols. vi. and vii.). With the author’s permission I have freely used these two valuable professional studies, especially in Chapter VII. The late Mr. Latham was a practical Swordsman, and his long experience as a maker of the ‘white arm’ renders his information thoroughly trustworthy. I wish every success to his son, who now fills his place in an establishment famous for turning out good work.
