This book is now considered the standard authority for that particular branch 

 of the Service in the United States Army. The War Department, at V>'ashing. 

 ton, has exhibited its thorousrh appreciation of the merits of this volume, the 

 want of which has been hitherto much felt in the service, by subscribing for 700 

 copies. 



"It is with great pleasure that we welcome the appearance of a new work on 

 this subject, entitled 'The Artillerisfs xManual,' by Capt. John Gibbon, a 

 highly scientific and meritorious officer of artillery in our regular service. Tho 

 work, an octavo volume of 500 pages, in larire, clear tvpe, appears to be well 

 adapted to supply just what has been heretofore needed to fill the gap between 

 the simple Manual and the more abstruse demonstrations of the science of gun- 

 nery. The whole work is profusely illustrated with woodcuts and en<rraTing5 

 on stone, tending to give a more complete and exact idea of the various'matters 

 described in the text. The book may well bo considered as a valuable and im- 

 portant addition to the military science of tho countrv."— 3^^?i' York Herald.
