Excerpt from Gunnery: An Elementary Treatise; Including a Graphical Exposition of Field Artillery Fire
That part Of the introduction entitled Study and the Value Of Theory was inserted at the very beginning of the book in the hope that the admonitions of the great soldiers therein set forth might arrest the attention and at once arouse the interest of officers inclined to look with impatience upon all forms of professional theory. It was thought that such officers would at least be inspired to exercise greater diligence in the study Of the fundamental principles Of their own branch Of the service.
If the author has here and there entered upon the field of tactics, he must be pardoned, for it has only been done to emphasize technical points which tactical considerations frequently involve.
