few weeks since, we noticed the publication Of
valuable elementary work by two young officers
of the American navy, which, by its sterling and
evident merit, had already commanded universal
attention. The publications of Captain Mordecai,
of the ordnance, and of Captain Lee, of the militia
ry engineers, have since appeared; and we have
now to announce another work military SUBJ
ject, dating alphabetically from West Point, and
distinguished by that military and scientific acu-
which characterzes the poly technic institution
of our country.
The book begins at the beginning, with the his
tory Of small arms, tracing upward from the sling
and bow, through the crossbow, arquebuss, wheel
and matchbox, flint and percussion, to the perfec
ton of all shoulder ,oeapons those loaded ut the
breech and supplied with bayonet. Passing thence
to the balist@ and cataputs Of old Rome, descrip-
ton is given of the barbarous artillery first used by
the Lombards, and among those speaking our own
tongue by the English Edwards, Captain Kings
bury devclopcs the perfection of the heavy guns,
until he places before the reader such beautiful
of bronze were maneuvred by Ring
gold and Bragg on the northern lines of the Mex
lean republic. and by other officers in the val
ley of Mexico. Incidentally, in this part Of the
book, gunpowder its invention, and effects, are
treated Of and the various species of artillery not
throwing solid shot are carefully described The
theory of firing, the physical laws which prevent
and ample rules given for the erection of bate
ries, &c.
Independent of its professional merit, the work
isinteresting in ITSELF and deserves place in every
library.
