The Principles Of Artillery: Reduced Into Questions And Answers, For The Use Of The Royal Military Academy, At Woolwich by Isaac Landmann. This historical manual presents artillery knowledge in a concise question-and-answer format. It covers the basic science of gunpowder, including nitre and sulphur, its purification, and methods to test and refine explosive mixtures, as well as the metallurgy and construction of ordnance. The work details the classification and distinguishing features of guns, mortars, and howitzers, explaining materials (iron, brass, gun-metal), carriage types, weights, and dimensions. It also provides practical rules for calculating ranges, elevations, windage, charges, and the effects of recoil and dispart. With sections on batteries and siege work, it serves as a foundational reference for artillery at the Royal Military Academy and for historical study of 18th-century military science.
