These meetings are about to recommence, and officers having Papers they wish to read or to be read are requested to communicate with me as soon as possible. A considerable portion of the sum subscribed at the commencement of the year for conducting the meetings being still unexpended, it will be unnecessary to ask for new subscriptions for the year 1866.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on Subjects Connected With the Duties of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 19: Contributed by Officers of the Royal Engineers The total height from the beach to the level of the platforms in the case mates is about 48 ft., and the rise of the tide is 18 ft. At high-water spring tides. The beach is very rocky, and, consequently, a passage had to be made by blasting, so that the lighter in which the guns were conveyed from the gun Wharf might ground in the sand at the end of the pier. The stage is made entirely of red pine, and consists of two ways, 6ft. Apart, supported on trestles and struts, which again are guarded from side strains by additional struts. At the end of the stage is a small sort of mole, upon which is constructed a level platform capable of receiving four or five 12-ton guns at a time. The height of this platform is exactly the same height as the baulks fixed on the deck of the lighter when grounded at the end of the pier. There were originally two footways between the ways, but one was removed in order to allow room for the revolution of the trunnions of the gun when parbuckled up the incline. The outside of the mole is made of rough rubble masonry laid in Roman cement, half sand; and the interior consists of a sort of coarse concrete made out of the dunstone gathered from the beach. The time taken in erecting the stage was three weeks; and the entire cost was 167. The diagrams explain for themselves the method of construction. Mooring chains were afterwards added to guard against the force of the sea during the equinoctial gales, but their services have never been required.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on Subjects Connected With the Duties of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 5 The effect of the increase in the funds is visible in the present Volume, as I have been able to employ Draughtsmen to prepare Drawings of various Machines, well worthy the attention of my Brother Officers, but which, without such increase, I should never have been able to procure. The number of Plates has also been in creased far beyond those of any preceding Volume; and I hope now, with like means at my disposal, to keep the Volume always up to the present standard. There may be many instances also in which Officers having objects of interest in their immediate neighbourhood, will not have time or opportunity to make the necessary Drawings in such cases I should be too glad to defray the expense of employing Draughtsmen to execute those Drawings on a scale proper for the Work; and by so doing I hope to secure reports and descriptions of various works useful to us in every point of View. With regard to the Papers contained in this Volume few remarks are necessary. It will be seen that there are two Plates containing plans and Sections of works at the Island of Ascension: I hoped to have been able to give in this Volume the conclusion of the Paper commenced in Vol. IV. By Captain brandreth; but he not having been able (owing to the multiplicity of duties thrown upon him in his present situation under the Admiralty) to complete the letter-press, I have inserted the Plates in this Volume, as they were already printed; and the letter-press will be given in the next.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on Subjects Connected With the Duties of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 2 It is not a sufficient reason, that the principles of defensive fortification should remain unstudied in England, because we have no great internal fortresses, and because we rely on our maritime superiority. We have colonies to defend; we have our naval arsenals to protect; which, while an object of great importance, is rendered more difficult than ever from the extended application of steam power to shipping generally. As our fortifications are limited, and we have not, as other nations, specimens of the defensive art constantly before us, it is more especially necessary that the principles upon which they are constructed should be perfectly under stood. We are too apt to follow servilely the rules dogmatically laid down in the published works on the art of fortification, while our business should be, to apply the general principles of the art to a species of fortification suited to the circum stances of our country. In the smaller description of forts required for the defence of harbours and colonies, all the true principles of defence must be kept in view; whilst at the same time it is necessary to adapt their size to small garrisons at all times, whether of peace or war, so that they may not be found cumbrous to the country.
