Description:
(Subject: History & Development of Warfare - General) Originally written in Latin, the English edition was translated from French by George Shelvoche Jnr. and published in London in 1729. Projectiles such as red-hot shot, bar shot chain shot and other incendiary 'globes' are described in some detail, but the majority of information relates to military and civil rockets. The descriptions of those controlled by sticks and vanes show that there was practically no improvement between the middle of the 17th and the first quarter of the 20th century.The book is profusely illustrated. (Published: 1971) (Publisher: S.R. Publishers) (ISBN: 0854096639) (Pagination: 404pp illustrations) (Condition: d/w worn with tear on spine. Light foxing on page edges. Good.) UL-XXXXXX
