Originally published in 1808. The author not only appreciated the
advantage of the rifle in war, he also gives an exceptionally lucid
account of its origins, operation and mechanics. The well
illustrated contents will prove of great value to the historian,
soldier and gun enthusiast. Contents Include: Of Projectiles in
General Theory of Spiral Motion Qualities of the Rifle History of
the Rifle Construction and Perfections of the Rifle Appendages of
the Rifle Modes of Using the Rifle General Hints Loading, Aiming,
Cleaning etc. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
