443. THE GUN ; or, a Treatise on the various descriptions 

 of Small Firearms. William Greener. The first of 

 Mr. Greener's books, and the most original work on 

 the subject published this century. Colonel G. Hawker 

 considered it "by far the best work ever wrote on the 

 subject." The author had much difficulty in procuring 

 correct illustrations, and the publication was in con- 

 sequence long delayed. In apologising for the delay 

 in the preface he adds " Should it be objected that the 

 book is too thin for the price, he has only to say that 

 had it been half the thickness, he would not have 

 thought of charging it one farthing less ; the immensely 

 expensive scale upon which his experiments have been 

 conducted have, in a great measure, been ruinous to 

 himself." The book was written in Newcastle about 

 1832, and printed in Sunderland in 1834. Dedicated 

 to the Duke of Wellington. Longman & Co., London ;
