OPINIONS OF 



"The title sounds ceniprehensive, and yet it is almost too modest. . . . The author ba.s ransacked 

 the whole range of literature on his subject, and extended his researches into all collections of weapons 

 of any notoriety. Experts and gentlemen wdl be interesred in examining intricacies of lock and action, 

 as clearly set forth as diagrams can do it. whiht more popular with the generality of readers will be the 

 engravings of those quaint old weapons, in which we may detect something more than the germ of 

 '• aliuost every modem patent."— Times, Aug. 32, 18B1. 



"Not only sportsmen, but every one interested in firearms, will welcome Mr. Greener's book on the 



fun. It is a remarkably complete monograph on the subject, and although necessarily dealing a good 

 eal with technical matters, is replete with interest from beginning to end. From whatever point of view 

 it is regarded, ihe work is full of well-condensed and trustworthy information."— Wes^m•^^^s^er Revietv, 

 July, mi. 



"Most certainly a valuaWe addition to the literature of firearms."— daily's Magazine, July, 1881. 



"Combines scientific accuracy with historic research. . . . Abounds in useful information. There 

 "is an excellent index, which, in a book of this sort, so full of scattered information, is indispensable."— 

 Home Nev^a. 



"Mr. Greener may claim to speak ex cathedra on the subject which ho here handles, iCor no gunmaker 

 has met with greater practical success in competitive scientific gun trials. Though Mr. Greeners own line 

 of science lies more particularly in the manufacture of sporting weapons, his work is by no means con- 

 fined to a disquisition of them ; he deals with gunnery ab ovo, tracing the gradual development of cannon, 

 musketry and sporting weapons from the days of theii- ear Uest use. . . . We have not space to follow 

 Mr. Greener through his careful analysis of modern sporting shotguns; the chapter on gunmaking and 

 the analysis of various locks and breechloading systems may weU be read by every sportsman; they will 

 Interest and instruct to good purpose."— P«H Mall Gazette.

THE PRESS. 



"In literary merit it is above the average of works of the kmd. and in matter it is a compendious 

 treatise, not only on the art of gunmaking, but on the history of firearms and on shooting as a sport. . . 

 All the successive stages in this remarkable development are dealt with at length, and are dwelt with, 

 moreover, in a singularly agreeable and practical way. Next to the completeness with which the whole 

 subject 18 covered, what strikes one most is the absence of those technicalities which are so puzzling to 

 the ordinary rea.der."— Liverpool Mercury. 



"Each subject treated upon seems dealt with carefully and conscientiously, and the vast amount of 

 statistical and other information contained makes it a work that should be on the shelves of every 

 sportsman's library." — Meld. 



•■The chapter on 'Curious Arms' is remarkably interesting, the iliustrations being admirable. Modern 

 breechloading rifles are then dealt with, from the needle-gim and Chassppot to those most marvellously 

 accurate and far-reaching weapons, the English and American match-rifles. Bullets and projectiles for 

 military rifles, as well as for those used for sporting purposes, and shotguns are dealt with in a way that 

 cannot fail to interest any one who cares for guns. Whatever Mr. Greener has to say on guns, whether 

 regarding his own or those of others, is to the point, as any sportsman who hias any practical knowledge 

 will at once recognize Id reading this book."— i>a«d and Water, Jxdy 3, 1881. 



"The book is copiously illustrated throughout, and the various improvements in firearms are treated 

 with care and knowledge. Much useful information is given as to the habits and pecuUai-ities of game." 

 — Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic JVeufs, June 25, 1881. 



"The writer has succeeded in making his meaning clear, even when dealing with intricate techni- 

 calities, and presented to the public all information concerning the gun and its accessories In a form that 

 is not merely readable but entertaining."— i/ve Stock Journal, May 18, 1881.
