Hardcover. Condizione: Good-. First Edition. [6], 21 pages, 7 coloured plates (of 13). Published for the information of the officers of the Rocket Corps, and others whom it may concern. This copy lacks the front cover and spine and 6 of the 13 plates. Prelimary pages are loose, old inscription dated 1837 on front endpaper. The 7 beautifully hand coloured plates present show: The equipment of a Rocket Ammunition Horse; Rocket infantry in line of march, and in action; the mode of using rockets in bombardment; the mode of using rockets in bombardment, from earth works, without apparatus; a rocket ambuscade; the use of rockets in the attack and defense of fortified places; of the use of rockets by infantry against cavalry, and in covering storming of a fortress.
