This work serves as a technical guide for officers and non-commissioned personnel in the U.S. Army involved in artillery operations. It covers various types of artillery, their construction, usage, and maintenance, providing vital information necessary for the training and instruction of those handling artillery pieces. At the start of the manual, there is a report from a committee of the Artillery School at Fort Monroe, which endorses Captain Roberts' compilation as a suitable text for the school, replacing a previous work by Burns. The opening portions describe the structure of the book and its intended audience, highlighting sections on different types of artillery, including guns, howitzers, and mortars. The text emphasizes the importance of precision in artillery operations and the technical details related to artillery construction and functioning, such as materials used, the principles of range and pointing, and the necessary calculations for effective artillery fire.
