A64318 The compleat gunner in three parts : part I. shewing the art of founding and casting ... the composition and matters of gunpowders ... : part II. discovers the necessary instruments ... to the compleating of a gunner ... : pt. III. shews the nature of fire-works / translated out of Casimir, Diego, Uffano, Hexan, and other authors; to which is added The doctrine of projects applyed to gunnery by those late famous authors Galilæus and Torricellio now rendred into English ; together with some excellent observations out of Mersennus and other famous authors. 1672 (1672) Wing T65; ESTC R29235 142,431 179
