FIGIlTING BOOKS. 
MEMOEANDUM. 
The instructions contained in this book are., under ordinary circum¬ 
stances, to be rigidly adhered to ; it is, however, to be distinctly under¬ 
stood that, in exceptional cases, Battery Commanders are expected to 
use their own judgment as to changing the nature of projectile, when 
such a course is evidently indicated, reporting the fact of their having 
done so to the fire commander. 
The system herein laid down is to be continually practised at drill, so 
as to insure all ranks to be thoroughly conversant with the method of 
fighting the fort.
