Excerpt from The Elements of Field Artillery: Designed for the Use of Infantry and Cavalry Officers
Officers of infantry and cavalry, especially those belonging to the Staff, to whom some elementary knowledge of the practical working of field-artillery is absolutely necessary, have frequently requested me to recommend to them a text-book, wherein they might study the subject. Of standard, scientific works of this nature there is no lack - amongst them Colonel Owen's 'Modern Artillery' is pre-eminent; and I beg leave to express my acknowledgments to this officer for the assistance I have received from his treatise, from which I have ventured to borrow largely, and which I strongly recommend to those who wish to obtain a thorough knowledge of the science.
