What reading level is Siege Artillery in the Campaigns Against Richmond, With Notes On the 15-Inch Gun, Including An Algebraic Analysis of the Trajectory of a Shot in Its Ricochets Upon Smooth Water book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reply is that they should be as strongly «[iade as possible, and that care correspond- ing to their value must be used in handling them. They are absolutely essential to accurate firing at long or even or- dinary rifie ranges, I have repeatedly used my telescope to detect an object quite invisible to the naked eye, and by aiming at its position, as indicated by surrounding larger objects, have made practice impossible for a gunner not supplied with a telescope. This method of sighting is of... course very laborious and uncertain, but it proves that with our large rifled guns the unavoidable uncertainties of the trajectory are exceeded by the errors inherent to our present system of pointing. We place telescopes on sur- veying instruments and on the rifles of sharpshooters; why not on the rifled siege gun, the ammunition of which is too expensive, too heavj^ and of too much importance in the campaign, to be wasted? Rifled artillery of the larger cal- ibres can never accomplish what it ought until this matter receives attention.
