have made, and of the facility with which
can cause the machines TO be constructed

If machinery is made according to my di-
rections, and the manufactory conducted IN

Light Artillery is, at the present dav,
considered the most advantageous arm OF an
army, and a terror to the enemy.
Before | eater into the details Of its or
sauization, think it my dnty to prove it's
great advantage over Foot Artillery, sta
ting for the same distance, say three miles,
with pieces of Battle Artillery, will arrive,
at full galiop, ON the ground in Is minutes,
that is, SO minutes sooner than the pieces
of Battle Artillery, which cannot arrive ia
less than IS minutes, the men keeping pace
with the infantry, and the pieces with the
horse. Calculating that a piece can be fir
ed times in minute, each piece of Light
Artillery Will have fired 100 times. The
fate of battle may be deciced before the
Battle Artillery has arrived at its position.
Besides, Light Artillery seldom falls into
the hands of the enemy, for it returns At
full gaiiop; whilst on tine contrary, 2attle
Artillery is often taken, and is OF course us
ed against those who could not defend it.
Light Artillery, can be carried 20 all the
