Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hasty Notes Relating to Military Engineering in Europe: Made in the Autumn of 1883
So far as my duties as a member of the Gun Foundry Board would allow, I took advantage of my recent visit to Europe to obtain all possible information respect ing matters of professional interest to the Corps of Engineers.
Some matters were communicated confidentially - thus I was permitted to in spect the new iron defenses at Cronstadt, but with the request that nothing should be made public; and I was shown some recent improvements in the English sub marine mining service, which, although no conditions were imposed, I judge more fitting for a confidential paper to be printed here for our own use.
