arizes eighteenth century changes in Spanish and French artillery. Information on colonial use of cannon can be found in mss. of the Archivo General de Indias as follows: Inventories of Castillo de San Marcos armament in 1683 (58-2-2,32/2), 1706 (58-1-27,89/2), 1740 (58-1-32), 1763 (86-7-11,19), Zuniga's report on the 1702 siege of St. Augustine (58-2-8,B3), and Arredondo's "Plan de la Ciudad de Sn. Agustin de la Florida" (87-1-1/2, ms. map); and other works, including [Andres Gonzales de Barcia,] _Ensayo Cronologico para la Historia General de la Florida_, Madrid, 1723; J. T. Connor, editor, _Colonial Records of Spanish Florida_, Deland, 1930, Vol. II., Manuel de Montiano, _Letters of Montiano_ (Collections of the Georgia Historical Society, v. VII, pt. I), Savannah 1909; Albert Manucy, "Ordnance used at Castillo de San Marcos, 1672-1834," St. Augustine, 1939. *ENGLISH ORDNANCE.* For detailed information John Mueller, _Treatise of Artillery_, London, 1756, has been the basic source for eighteenth century material. William Bourne, _The Arte of Shooting in Great Ordnance_, London, 1587, discusses sixteenth century artillery; and the anonymous _New Method of Fortification_, London, 1748, contains much seventeenth century information. For colonial artillery data there is John Smith, _The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-Englande, and the Summer Isles_, Richmond, 1819; [Edward Kimber] _Late Expedition to the Gates of St. Augustine_, Boston, 1935; and C. L. Mowat, _East Florida as a British Province_, 1763-1784, Los Angeles, 1939. Charles J. Foulkes, _The Gun-Founders of England_, Cambridge, 1937, discusses the construction of early cannon in England. *FRENCH ORDNANCE.* M. Surirey de Saint-Remy, _Memoires d'Artillerie_, 3rd edition Paris, 1745, is the standard source for French artillery material in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Col. Fave, _Etudes sur le Passe et l'Avenir de L'Artillerie_, Paris, 1863, is a good general history. Louis Figurier, _Armes de Guerre_, Paris, 1870, is also useful. *UNITED STATES ORDNANCE.* Of first importance is Louis de Tousard, _American Artillerist's Companion_, 2 vols., Philadelphia, 1809-13. For performance and use of artillery during the 1860's the following sources are useful: John Gibbon, _The Artillerist's Manual_, New York, 1863; Q. A.
