About this Item

[4],16pp. Tables. Folio. Gathered signatures, stitched as issued. Some dust soiling to outer leaves. Small tear in fore-edge of titlepage (text not affected). Else crisp and very good. Untrimmed. In a red cloth folder. This interesting group of military essays and papers was compiled by Thomas Adamson, "Master-Gunner of his Majesty's Train of Artillery," with the hope of awakening his fellow countrymen to the possibility of a French military attack. The whole work is a curious manual of 17th-century military preparedness, with lists of the requirements of a fort, the components needed to equip a train of artillery, and a list of ninety ships of war with respective manpower assigned by Parliament against France. WING D1471. ADAMS & WATER 704a. DNB V, pp.976-78. Seller Inventory # WRCAM21742
