1012. MODERN BREECHLOADERS, Sporting and Military. 

 W. W. Greener. The first of a numerous series of 

 technical books by the Birmingham gunmaker, who 

 was son of and "successor to William Greener, C.E., 

 author of ' The Gun,' etc." The Field, in its second 

 notice of this work, said : " The whole book is useful 

 without being pretentious, at the same time giving

 It has 135 illustrations of breechloading mechanisms 

 and parts. Cassell, London, 1871. Crown 8vo, 242 

 pp., cloth, 7s. Qd. ; second edition, 1874, reprint with 

 appendix.
