American inventions and improvements in breech-loading small arms, heavy ordnance, machine guns, magazine arms, fixed ammunition, pistols, projectiles, explosives, and other munitions of war, including a chapter on sporting arms.

The favorable reception given to tlie work on "American BreechLoading Small Arms," published by the compiler in 1872, has led to the preparation of the present work. While it contains much that appeared in the former volume, relating to Small Arms, there will be found large additions bringing the description of each Arm down to the present time, and also a sketch of the rise and progress in the manufacture of Heavy Ordnance and Projectiles. Reference has also been made to the new systems of Magazine Guns, the manufacture of Gunpowder and Fixed Ammunition. The compiler again avails himself of this opportunity to express his thanks to the United States War Department and the several inventors and arms companies, for their readiness to furnish him with every information.
