THE Secretary of State for War, in concurrence with the advice of His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief, having directed that complete returns of the equipment of the army should be made by the officers of the Topographical and Statistical Depôt, and illustrated by drawings of every artiele authorized to be supplied to the army, the work was divided into seven parts, and intrusted to the following officers :— The letter-press of all these parts is now completed, as are the illus trations to accompany Parts V. and VII. The illustrations to accompany Parts I. and IV. are in rapid preparation, but as some length of time must elapse before they are ready for publication, it is thought desirable to issue the descriptive portions of these parts, without waiting for the completion of the Plates. The proofs of this edition have been most carefully corrected and revised, but as in a first edition of a large work some errors are almost unavoidable, it is requested that heads of departments or commanding officers will notify to this department any corrections or alterations which may improve the accuracy of the book.
