§. F. GUNS FOR FIELD ARTILLERY. 46 i 
for our immediate purpose the important thing is that the meeting is 
practically unanimous that we must have quick firers and that as 
soon as possible. The Council of this Institution were so kind as to 
express their pleasure at the Artillery Institution coming here. Per¬ 
haps I may in the name of the Artillery Institution thank the Council 
very much for having allowed us to come this afternoon. I am sure 
there can be no doubt that these larger artillery questions like the 
larger cavalry question which was brought up here the other day are 
matters that concern all the arms of the service, and the more they 
are discussed in public with the criticism of all the other arms as to 
where the co-operation of the three arms can be brought together the 
better it will be for us all.
