The work explores the principles of gunnery, discussing the advancements and techniques related to firearms and artillery of that era. The author aims to convey practical knowledge while critiquing existing systems, urging for a scientifically sound approach to improve weaponry efficiency and effectiveness.  The opening of this treatise sets the stage by emphasizing the historical context of arms development from ancient times to the then-current state of gunnery. It points out the evolution of weaponry, from bows and arrows to firearms, illustrating the relentless evolution driven by necessity and competition among nations. Greener criticizes past Government reluctance to innovate in military armaments and advocates for a thorough understanding of the scientific principles behind modern firearms, discussing the need for practical improvements, better materials, and the importance of understanding gunpowder composition. The passage lays the groundwork for a detailed examination of mechanics and science related to gunnery, suggesting that comprehensive innovation in this field is crucial for national defense.
