OPINIONS OF 



> "The title sounds cemprebensive, and yet it is almost too modest. . « . The author has 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 interested in examining intri'>acies of lock and action, 

 as clearly set forth as diagrams can do it, whilft more popular with the generality of readei-s will be the 

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

 almost every modem patent."— rir?!e.s, Aug. 93, 1881. 



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

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

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

 it is regarded, the work is full of well-condensed and trustworthy information."— iresij«i?i.s<er Review, 

 July, 18S1. 



"Most certainly a valuable addition to the literatiu-e of firearms."— 5«i7j/'.s- Magazine, July. 1S81. 



"C-ombines scientific accuracy with historic research. . . . Abounds in useful information. There 

 is an exeeUent index, which, in a book of this sort, so full of scattered inf ormation, is indispensable." — 

 Home News. 



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

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

 ■of science lies more pariicularly m 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, 

 muskietry and sporting weapons from the days of their earliest 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 Jocks and breechloading systems may well be read by every sportsman; they will 

 interest and instruct to good purpose."- Fall Mail Gazette, 



THE PRESS. 



"In literary merit it is above the average of works of the kind, 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 witb, 

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

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

 the ordinary reader." — 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 he on the shelves of every 

 sportsman's library." — Field. 



'•The chapter on 'Curious Amis' is remarkably Interesting, the illustrations being admirable. Modern 

 breeci loading rifles are ihen dealt with, from the needle-gun and Oha-ssepot to those most marvellously 

 accurate and far-reaching weapons, the English and American mateh-nfles. Bullet*! and projectiles for 

 military rifles, as well as for tbo>:e 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 has any practical knowledge 

 will at once recognize in reading this book."— i^anrf and Water, July 3, 1881. 



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

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

 — Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic Neim, June 2.5, 1881. 



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

 calities, and presented to the put>lic all Information concerning the gun and its accessories in a form that 

 is not merely readable but entertaining." — Live Stock Journal, May 18, 1881.
