In this work the subject of the Rifle is treated more • compre-
hensively than has been hitherto attempted. It commences with
an introduction chewing the peculiar addiction of the British

of projectiles ; shews the object of the Rifle in particular; treats
of the theory of spiral motion, confirmed by experiment, and of
the minor qualities of the Rifle ; examines the history of the Rifle
and its progressive improvements ; the various shapes of the ball;
and proceeds to dessribe the most perfect mode of constructing
the various parts of die Rifle, arid of preparing its several appen-
dages.
The best modes of using it in its various relations are next
doer:bed, the result of actual practice and experiment.
The whole is concluded by general hints tending to facilitate
the complete acquirement of the Rite practice, and containing
much information drawn from various sources, necessary to Rifle
Corp', including the subjects of emulative distinctions, dress, !cc.
and tending to the better formation of those matches, which are
so necessary to elicit the spirit of the people fur the attainment of
skill in Rifle shooting. The whole adapted to the commonest un-
derstanding, with due regard to every work which has touched,
upon the subject.
