About this title

Synopsis

""New Principles of Gunnery"" is a book written by Benjamin Robins in 1805. The book focuses on the determination of the force of gunpowder and an investigation of the difference in the resisting power of the air to swift and slow motions. Robins discusses the principles of ballistics, including the trajectory of projectiles, the effects of air resistance on bullets, and the forces involved in the firing of guns. He also explores the properties of gunpowder and its effects on the accuracy and range of firearms. The book is considered a classic work on the science of gunnery and was influential in the development of modern artillery. It is a valuable resource for historians, scientists, and anyone interested in the history and technology of firearms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
