Yeah, I have that book. It's really quite awesome.
You should get it if you're into that kind of stuff. Highly recommended.

Look up George Silver too. A member here posted a link to a couple of his papers some time ago.
ahhh, here it is!...George Silver's "paradoxes of defence" (http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/paradoxes.html)

Anyway, he was an english swordsman and martial arts practitioner appointed to the court a few centuries ago.

Had a few remarkable things to say about the "poor" state of martial arts instruction in england. :D even way back when.

The hopologists have pretty good sites (go to www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and type "hopology") and I'm willing to bet my broadsword you will be able to find tons of interesting materials from days of yore in your local military museum, university archives and other non standard non-general public sort of information repositories.
