The Handbook of Artillery Materiel, written by Frederick Cyril Morgan and published in 1884, is a comprehensive guide to the equipment and technology used in artillery warfare during the late 19th century. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the construction and maintenance of artillery pieces, the use of gunpowder and other explosives, and the tactics and strategy involved in artillery warfare. The text is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of artillery materiel. The first section provides an overview of the history and development of artillery, from early cannons to the latest rifled guns. The second section covers the construction and maintenance of artillery pieces, including the various types of guns, how they are made, and how they are maintained. The third section of the book is dedicated to the use of gunpowder and other explosives, including how they are manufactured, stored, and transported. The fourth section covers the tactics and strategy involved in artillery warfare, including how to position and aim guns, how to calculate range and trajectory, and how to coordinate artillery fire with other elements of an army. Throughout the book, Morgan provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex machinery and technology involved in artillery warfare. The Handbook of Artillery Materiel is an invaluable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
