Condition: New. 2008 N & M Press reprint of 1789 original Edition. SB. 374pp. + 8 platesPublished Price £16 This classic manual of artillery, written by Major-General Alessandro DâAntoni (1715-1786), chief director of the Royal Military Academies of Artillery and Fortification in the city of Turin, combines three books in one. There is a treatise on the properties and treatment of gunpowder; a treatise on firearms; and a treatise on the practical application of artillery in wartime. Illustrated with many drawings and diagrams showing the use of artillery in both sieges and set-piece battles, this is a faithful facsimile printing of the bookâs original English translation which appeared in 1789, the year of the French Revolution, when the tactics and weaponry of which it treats so learnedly and lucidly were about to be unleashed on a European scale.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alessandro Papacino D'Antoni, born Alexandre Victor Papacino D'Antony (May 1714 - December 1786), was an Italian soldier who also distinguished himself in the fields of physics, mathematics and war engineering. Papacino came from a family of Franco-Spanish origins who distinguished themselves in the military. When war broke out again, the Kingdom of Sardinia allied itself first with France and then with Austria, and Papacino was able to make himself known not only as a good artilleryman, but also as a skilled military engineer, during the battles in which he fought. When he was chosen in 1755, as director of the Artillery School, Papacino had the rank of major in artillery. On June 12, 1759, he was appointed a knight of the Order of Saints Maurizio and Lazarus and it was then that he took his mother's surname, D'Antony, under which he is best known in the world of science. As director of the School of Artillery, Papacino created a course of study in which he united mathematical sciences, artillery and military engineering, which was in his teachings translated into French by Mont-Rosard and published in French in 1777. This course, of true military science, was adopted for teaching in artillery schools in Prussia and in the territories of the Republic of Venice. Despite being caught up in teaching, Papacino's military career was marked by continuous advancements in rank, eventually attaining the rank of lieutenant general. In 1783 he was appointed National Member of the Academy of Sciences of Turin with letters of foundation. He was chosen by Vittorio Amedeo III to teach the prince the art of war as a tutor; the sovereign, to testify to his satisfaction, granted him, on October 1, 1, 1779, a rich comandery in the lands of the Avogadro di Massazza. He was also named "Grand Master of Artillery of the Kingdom of Sardinia". Papacino D'Antony continued to take an interest in the development of Savoy artillery, establishing new formulas for the manufacture of powders. Since the artillery corps lacked sufficiently educated non-commissioned officers, he created a school for his regiment, so that every artiglier could read and write, paying the masters with his holdings.
