This volume is the second half of the story of the French artillery during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It covers the howitzers; mortars and large siege (16- and 24-pdrs) and garrison (8- and 12-pdrs) guns; placing a special emphasis on their role; technical significance and operational use. The introduction of the Gribeauval system put in place a collection of mortars and large guns that were lighter and more manageable than those previously used; while offering first class hitting power.
