A catalogue of the ks, manuscripts and engravings of this collection has been prepared by Mr. Sabin for the guidance of the purcbasers, which is sold for $2. The method of seliing the catalogues baa to be adopted for various reasons, First, the com- pilation veing really a great labor, nearly every book befug critically analyzed, the volume becomes a most valuable addendum to any library as a book of reier- ence.

Fiftgen-Mile Ranges and Fabulous Charges. OF ARTILLERY. The Heaviest Plating of Iron-Ciad Ships Rid- dled by Bolts of Stee’. IRRESISTIBLE FORCE HUGE ENGINES OF WAR. Puvapetrsia, Nov. 9, 1876. Few cbjects in Machinery Hall and in the United States Building have been viewed with greater in- terest than the immense and ponderous weapons of war thatare there exmbited. Everybody has heard or read of the great Krupp gun, whose mighty power was mainly instrumental im laying the lovely Paris, that gayest and most fascinating of European capitals, at the teet of Frederick William, whose ancestor bore the modest title of Elector of Brandenburg. The great twenty-inch Rodman gun, exbibited by the United States Ordnance Department, and the buge sections of armor plating for tron-clad ships of war, were also things’ of which the reading public bad a faint knowledge, and therefore they commanded much attention, It is structive to look back for the comparatively short period of twenty-five years and contemplate the astounding Improvements which since then have becn mado in the manufacture of weapons of war. At that time there was not a rifled cannon in oxistence, the small bore percussion musket was yet in the bands of the troops belonging to all nations, aud the im- proved Minié ball in a rifled small-arm was be- ing tried in the British and French armics by wy of exporiment, There were then wiseacres among the martinetish offeers of both armies who scouted the idea of admitting the new-fangled system into service; yot still tho ides of rifled arms forced it- self favorably into men’s minds, and soon became by its resistless merits an accomplished fact. The Ger. man needle-gun was the frst breech-loading arm which any Power bad formally adopied, and the deffsive victory of Sadowa taught the world that nenceforth rifled arms must be placed in the soldier's hands. If, then, said experithental artillerists, such excellent re, sults can be had from rifled small arms, why cannot the system be applied to great guns? It was applied, and very successiully, too, Mr, William Armstrong produced api ICH-LOADING RIFLED CANNON which went a great way to rovolutionize the different artillery systems in Europe. Nearly all the Powers set themselves to work, and nearly all of them introduced a distinct systom; many of them showing a surprising amount of mochanical ingenuity and skill, but few standing the severe.tests of active servico and much firing. ‘ Among the great guns which have been successful the Krupp breech-loading cannon takes, perhaps, the first place; certainly, as it now appears on oxbibition at Machinery Hall, it ie difficult to mmagine a more ef- fective or complete piece of artillery. There are sev- eral calibres of the gun, from the fourteen-ineh (the Jargest made) to the two and a quartor inch mountain piece, to be seen in Machinery Hall, mounted and ready for service The gun has claimed sitice ts invention eo large a share*ot attention from professional artillerists and oth “hat it ts presumed “no apology need be made for giving here some idea to the general reader of the fort of thing which may be called Mr. Krupp’s pocket pistol. It will serve also to fliustrate the great fact that the moans of attack are stili superior to those of defence, for no ship would float that could be built with armor safMiciently strong to resist the yatgest calibre of this notable cannon. bd - The largest Krapp gun has a calibre (diameter ot bore) of 14 inches, oF 35.05 centimetres length, 224, feot from the plane of the muzzle to that of the breech; weight, including breech block, 115,600 pounds; weight of forged iron carriage, 373 tons; weight of empty sieel projectile {in round numbers) 1,020 pounds; weight of driving charge, 280 pounds prismatic powder, and the almost incredivle range, according te the inventor's own figures, is 15 miles, or 25,400 yards! We are not told what elovation must be given to tho axis of the bore to obtain this astounding—it true—result; but as ‘the carriage on which the piece is now mounted ad- mits of bat 19 degrees of clevation above the hori- zontal, +the estimated range with this elevation is sunply impossible. It may be wellto remember that the length of the gun in calibres is 19.3. Th carriage on which it is mounted places the axis of the trunnions at an elovation a fractiou.over nine feet ten Inches, so as to admit of firing over a parapet six feet in height A hydraulic recoilecheck composed of two cylinders, placed one on each side of tho rear transom, serves to stop the retrogressive movement of tho piece alter firing, when, bya simplo movement of a lever staff, the gun runs out again into position at the foot of the parapet.

The carriag fixed to a pivot and runs on tracks over threeseparate segments of circles laid with irop tracks, At the rr riage is 8 graduated arc of a cycle in brass which shows the angle of lateral movement given to the gun. ‘The whole vast machine js so constracted that a lew men can manage it with facility, The sights are al- most as fine as those of a Creedmoor rifle, Lu front of the trunnions, at either side of the gun, the forward sights are placed, sights, with tangent sealo attacned, are let ii 0 body of the metal a few inches from the breech and paraliei to the front sights.

Now, the plating on tue most formidable iron-ciad afloat ‘s but even inches in thiok~ ness, and, therelorc, would bo altogether inadequate to resist the shock of the Krupp gut. The projectile would pass through @ ship's side plated with 1l-1och arinor with the same faciiity that in former times spherical shot would riddie a wooden ntor claims for this monster gun a ority over the mueh talked of Woowich intant of SL tons.

The initial veioct! eredited to the Bi gun 1470 metres per second, and that of Krupp, 500; while the total effective force of the projectile thrown trom the former is 6,460 against 6,625 of the latter, Tt thus appears that the Krupp gup has periority of o a hall per cent In the total force of its projectile over the Eng- Nish, and that while the latter weighs no Jers than 25,500 Kilogrammes more than its rival, the German cannon carries a far heavier charge and gives a much gteater initial velocity to the prover @ aro not told anything about the curvature of trajectory of eitner, piece, but doubtless it will be found that the higher the velocity the greater will be the diference Vetween th 'y upd that laid down by the parabolic theory.

The section as originally cnt for the gre: iP was 16 feet long, 336 fect wide, inches thick and weighed 24,717 pounds. The cut on -exbibition bears the marks close together of tour eight-inch conical steel projectiles; uone of which perforated the slab. Oue of the shot marks—the deepest—penetrates the plate to a depta of fully mine imches, aud considering the great inferiority of ap 8-inch sho% as compared with the l4- inch projectile of Krupp’s gun, it must be apparent that the German cannom would have gone cicar shrougo the side of the Temersire even if her armer were backed by several thick- nessess of hard wood, Another piece of armor sent. over to givethe Americans some usetul bints building is f a pl bich, when it foundry, weighed more than twenty tons.

It is well-known that, ax -workers in iron and steel, the British are sur- passed by no nation, if not by the Americans, and therefore it is difficult to see why the 100-ton gun should not surpass in pepetrative power 118 smaller | rival from the celebrated foundry of Essen. At any rate, conaidering what bas been already done by the Inst mentioned weapon, (hore 1s no bliuking the cop- * elusion that no iron-clad can be floated which would be capable of resisting THK POWER OF ARTILLERY as now employed, There are several other pieces of armor plating exb:bited by tne British shat also de- serve mention, if the space in this letter would admit of ib Russia, Brasil, Spi and other Powers have on ex- hibition a number of garrison and Geld guas, 10 | brass and steel, but in them no now principle is de- veloped that would be worth while to dwell upon Russia and Spain show the method of carrying moun. tain artillery, which is much the same as that in use among ourselves.

Russia shows a model in brass of the samo gun; itis shorter, lighter, and therciore much less effective than tho German piece, which is of steel. Russia also exhibits some rifled, brass mortat and 10 inches calibre, but these, from the n which they are mounted, the length of chase and way in which they should be hand! partake more of tho | properties of Lowitzers than anything else.

A visitto the Ordnance Depart- tion of that gentleman was drawn to the fact that Krupp claims A RANGE OF FIFTERN MILES | for bis D. Yen gaid Lieutenant Whipple, that isa pretty bard thing to necept. A range ol that kind would carry the ball beyond the horizon line, out of sight Ihave neg- lected to ask Mr. Krupp about this extraordinary range, the like of which has neyer been heard or read of be- tore.” Those acquainted with the subject will, doubtiess, remember that an extreme range of seven miles wag claimed for the Armstrong gan; but this was with a maximum charge and an elevation from 47 to 52 de- grees. Licutenant Whipple agreed that, mounted on its present garrison carriage, it would be quite impossi- bie with but 19 degrees of elevation to attain a range of anytning like 15 miles. ‘he 20-inch Rodman muzzie-loading smooth bore gun ts the most powerful ono used in the United States sea and land services, It weighs 116,100 pounas; tne length ts 20 feet 8 inches; maximum diam 6 feet 4 inches; tensile strength, 30,078 pounds; density, 7.1999; weight of shot, 1,080 pounds, and weight of charge (mammoth powder) pounds, With an olevation of 25 degroes the gun has a range of 8,000 yi wal to about 444 miles, This range is fully 8 long as will ever be required in actual servic and it the columbiad wore a rifle ingtead of a smooth bore gun, throwing a spherical ball, it would compare tav- orably enough with the Krapp or Woolwich guns, and be sufficiently powerful to sink apy vessel afloat Touching this important point Lieutenant Whipple Stated that:— “fhe 20-inch would not be abi commission. Wo ai in has not penetration enough, and to cope with tho iron-clads now in now building mfled guns; but Congress will not give the arent | funds to carry on the work. Uur present ordnance, if not useless, would be unfit to contend successiully agaiust picces that could be brought against us.’” . ‘This is a very important admission from an intelli- gent ordnance office, and the country should ses to it that the service be furnished with a gun of American make that Wilds eas! te saying in the arm' or navies of Europe.

THK GUN HOWITZER, which bears the unfortunate name of Napoleon, was received into service In 1856, when Krupp, Arinstrong and Whitworth were unknown, and has remained in use ever since. Although, after the battle of Magenta, Napoleon found himself obliged to confess that his in- vention was a failure, and at once introduced & rifled piece of much greater range and power tn its place, the United States, Ina country that is teeming with i thought proper to retaip this 50 gress, which is prover- bially “penny wise and pound foolish,” has thought fit to ignore the demands of th my, upon whose state of efficiency the sale:y of the country and publ: ° s peace depend The svi 12-pounder mountain howitzei cent range of 1,000 yards, about one-fourth that of the Krapp gun forthe same kind of duty.
