A discourse on the theory of gunnery - Delivered at the anniversary meeting of the Royal Society, November 30, 1778

But, as on former occasions, so now, your Council, waving their privilege of determining the choice, have acted only as a select number deputed by[4] you, to prepare matters for your final decision. I come then, on their part, briefly to lay before you the state of the Theory of Gunnery, from its rise to the time when its true foundation was laid, in order to evince how conducive those experiments may be to the improvement of an art of public concern, as well as to the advancement of natural knowledge, the great object of your institution. And if, upon a review of the subject, you shall entertain no less favourable an opinion of Mr. Huttons performance, than what your Council have done, it is their earnest request that you would enhance the value of this prize, by authorizing your President to present it to our ingenious brother in your name. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
