  • Appeal to antiquity

“The Cornish are masters of the art of wrestling, so that, if the Olympic games were now in fashion, they would come away with the victory. Their hug is a cunning close with their combatants, the fruit whereof is his fair fall or foil at the least.”

Fuller, T (1662). History of the Worthies of England. i.197-8.
