AIN ARTILLERY OFFICER’S 
ROUGH NOTES 
ON 
ARTILLERY IN MANUSCRIPT. 
Circa. 
A,D, 1755. 
BY 
COLONEL J. C. DALTON, R. A. 
(Assistant Military Secretary, Mead-Quarters Staff of the Army.) 
A N interesting old vellum bound book containing the manuscript 
notes on all pertaining to the art of the Royal Artilleryman of the 
middle of the 18th Century has recently come into my hands, and I 
have had the pleasure of presenting it to the library of the Royal 
Artillery Institution. I do not propose here to do more than very 
briefly allude to the professional contents of the book, but the officers 
to whom it has belonged have kept a few regimental records in it, 
which, though probably throwing little or no fresh light on the early 
history of the regiment, may nevertheless be interesting to many who 
have not got access to the regimental records of that date. 
As I am writing this from abroad I have not by me any books of 
reference with which to compare the details which I give now, except 
a “ Kane's List," but from that I have been able to identify every name 
herein recorded, and have inserted the “ Kane's List" number after 
the name of each officer.
