folio. pp. 44. 15 lithographed plates. numerous text diagrams. original printed wrs. (spine chipped, tear to front wr. repaired). Apparently, only 100 copies of this confidential report on the military capabilities of the United States were printed. Major Clarke's paper describes American weaponry, the principal government establishments and private manufactories, including the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the Naval War College, Torpedo Station at Newport, West Point, United States Cartridge Works at Lowell, the National Armoury at Springfield &c. "The general impression I derived was that, thanks to the high technical training provided at Annapolis and at West Point, the United States possess, both in the Naval and Military Service, a quite exceptional number of experts. The results of the knowledge thus diffused would, without doubt, be very marked in the event of war.".
