Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of records of practice in Europe with heavy Armstrong, Woolwich, and Krupp rifled guns. The tables collate a substantial range of powder charges, initial velocities, and striking energies of projectiles from the earliest to the latest trials. This information is of great value for officers of the Corps of Engineers and the Army at large, and it also provides historical context for the state of weapon technology of the time period. The effectiveness of iron, steel, and compound armor plates against these guns is examined. The book includes penetration data for varying thicknesses of iron plates and an analysis of the relative resistances of plates faced with steel versus plates made entirely of iron. The results provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the latter plates. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for the design of future armor and fortifications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. 62 pages, several illustrations, 28 plates (some folding). Original burgandy cloth, gilt lettered. Spine sunned. Contents clean and bright throughout. The book examines one of the largest and most complex Iron Age earthwork systems in Britain. The book describes the vast enclosure of roughly 850 acres and explains how Wheelerâs 1951â"52 excavations revealed at least four structural phases, three of them dating to the 1st century AD, during the final period of Brigantian independence before the Roman conquest. It details how the ramparts were cut into bedrock and reinforced with stone walling, and places the site within the political struggles of the Brigantes, including the conflicts involving Cartimandua and Venutius. The report presents Stanwick as a major tribal centre and remains a key reference for understanding Iron Age power, settlement, and defensive architecture in northern England. Size: 21.5 x 28 cms.

Booklet - Unbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. 43 Pages. This article by James Fergusson offers a pointed analysis of Britainâs defensive posture in 1871, contrasting its parliamentary inertia and underfunded fortifications with the decisive military investments of continental powers. Fergusson draws comparisons with the United States during the Civil War, highlighting the American Congressâs swift mobilisation of resources, and laments the British Parliamentâs reluctance to act with similar urgency. He warns of the strategic vulnerability of key imperial outposts such as Malta and Gibraltar, and stresses the importance of maintaining a strong, ready fleet. The essay blends military critique with political commentary, arguing that national defence must be treated not as a partisan issue but as a matter of existential priority.
