Description

"Deanes' Manual of the History and Science of Fire-Arms" is a comprehensive guide to projectile weapons, with historical details, information on construction techniques, chapters on explosive firearms, explanations of scientific principles, and much more. This fascinating and detailed handbook will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of firearms, and it would make for a fantastic addition to allied collections. Contents include: "The Bow and Crossbow", "Historical Retrospect of Fire-arms", "Gunpowder", "The Modern Discoveries in Explosive Agents and their Application to Fire-arms", "The General Principles on which the Construction of Fire-arms is Based", "The Trajectory, or Line of Translation, Described by Projectiles", "Double Barrell Guns", "The Sporting or Shot Gun", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality addition complete with the original text and artwork.
