Présentation de l'éditeur
Since my recent work on the crossbow and ancient projectile weapons was issued I have obtained additional information concerning the catapult and balista of the Greeks and Romans. I now, therefore, print, in the form of an A ppendix, a revised account of the construction of these two engines. Their history and effects in warfare I have already dealt with. I also append a treatise fully describing the structure, power and management of that remarkable weapon the Turkish composite bow, which I only cursorily alluded to in my book on the crossbow etc. R. P. G. Thirkleijv Park, Thirsk :J an. 1907. 1T he Crossbow, Mediaval ami Modern, Military and Sporting: its Construction, History, and Manaeemcni. With a Treatise on the Balista and Catapult of the A ncients. 220 illustrations. Messrs. Longmans Co., 39 Paternoster Row, London.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
