ed by Act of C01

 pose 01 selecting the nest arm for the eervice, and of 

 which Prig. Gen. A. H. Terry was President. It sue- 

 . .--eil through alt the tests. 

 iD iwinglethe report of the Board: 



. That the adoption of magazine guns for 

 the military service by all nations is only a question 

 of time; that whenever an arm shall be devised which 

 shall be as effective as a single breech-loader, as the 

 best of the existing breech-loading arms, andshallat 

 thesanie time possess a safe and easily manipulated 

 ■ rj consideration of public policy wfllre- 

 •.y.iiK ,ts adoption. 



Jiesolved, further, That the experiments before the 

 Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 

 so impressed the Board with the merits of this gun, 

 that they consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con- 

 dllions above specified than any other tried by them 

 or of which they have any knowledge, and ft does 

 recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 

 made on the plan for further trial in the field." (See
