Original gilt dec blue cloth, quite edgeworn and frayed, some staining mostly on front board. Shaken and cracked binding. Personalized inscription by the author on the front fly-leaf though his name itself is not signed. The volume was revised and imported for use during the American Civil War, as British arms manufacturers increasingly provided both sides of the conflict munition, and many American soldiers were unfamiliar with the dynamics and best use of British riflery. The volume includes sections on military tactics, firing techniques, chemical properties of gunpowder, etc. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 160 pages; Signed by Author.
