I've republished _Scientific Boxing_ by James J. Corbett. Available at:

The download is, of course, free.

Blurb follows:

"Gentleman" James J. Corbett held the title of World Heavyweight Boxing
Champion 1892 to 1897. Boxing under the Marquis of Queensberry rules,
he is sometimes called The Father of Modern Boxing. Dubbed so because
his "Scientific" approach to boxing which he used to great effect
securing his title against the great John L. Sullivan.

Besides a career in acting, Corbett rounded out his boxing career by
teaching at the Olympic Club in San Francisco and writing this manual on
his "Scientific Boxing" methods.

Loaded with 50 photographs depicting technique and other greats of the
ring,in this 1912 edition Corbett gives descriptions and instruction on
both legal, and illegal, ring technique. Faithfully transcribed by Kirk
Lawson, the copious photographs and clear description make this manual a
must for Boxing historians and modern Martial Artists alike.

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
