626. PRAKTISCHES HANDBUCH DBS GEWEHR-FABRIKANTEN 

 UND BUCHSENMACHERS. Eduard Oscar Schmidt. A 

 treatise on gunmaking, including directions for all 

 branches, and the preparation of the necessary ma- 

 terial. It is really only a small pamphlet in a paper 

 wrapper compiled by a voluminous producer of trade 

 and technical handbooks. [The first portion of the 

 book is devoted to practical directions for barrel 

 making, browning, smith's work, hardening and tem- 

 pering ; the second to the fitting of the patent 

 breech, lock-making, sight-filing, and particulars of 

 the percussion system. The illustrations consist of 

 twelve 8vo pages of lithographs of gun parts, furniture, 

 etc., and are not of special interest. The book is of 

 the kind from which the intelligent artisan of half a 

 century ago might obtain useful hints and designs.]
