SB vii+645pp. plates, 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1855 Original EditionPublished Price £28 This book marks the end of an era: naval gunnery in the style of Admiral Nelson. In 1855 the British Navy was still fitted overwhelmingly with muzzle loading cannon and carronades. Within a generation the new rifled guns would come into service, and naval gunnery would then be a matter of science rather than an art.The book looks in great detail at the whole subject, starting with a basic section on ballistics, including an examination of the effect of shot and shell on wooden ships. It continues with an analysis of British and foreign naval guns, and examines rebored guns, new gun types, rifled guns, rocketry and attacks on fortresses. This is followed by a manual of operation of the guns in service, including gun deck layout, firing and reloading. Appendices look at other aspects of weapons in use at sea and on land, including rifled muskets and Louis Napoleonâ s new artillery system. There is also an important â time sliceâ showing the armament of the Royal Navy of the period as well as â Observations on the Lancaster Gunâ and a description of naval operations in the Black Sea during the Crimean War.The extra detail is what makes this book - not merely naval gunnery, but other important matters which give a detailed picture of naval thought in 1855.

8vo., Second Edition, with several tables in the text, 5 folding engraved diagrams and 4 folding tables; contemporary half calf, gilt back, marbled boards, sprinkled edges, a remarkably crisp, fresh, clean copy. With the nineteenth century engraved armorial bookplate of M. John Phillips on front paste-down. A handsome and highly desirable copy of a classic work in contemporary binding. Son of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Douglas, Sir Howard Douglas (1776-1861) enjoyed a distinguished military career and developed a well-earned reputation for enquiry and innovation. By 1811 he had perfected and patented 'Douglas's reflecting circle'; in 1816 he published an important study of military bridges and in 1819 a treatise on Carnot's system of fortification. He then turned his attention to naval matters and produced the first edition of his famous volume on naval gunnery in 1820. It is a comprehensive study covering theoretical, practical and tactical aspects and its impact was significant. Its success, both at home and in translation, led eventually to the establsihment of 'H.M.S. Excellent' as a gunnery training school.
