Publisher description
Excerpt from War Inventions and How They Were Invented This is the fourth volume of the "Science for Children" Library, each volume of which is complete in itself. It goes without saying that the subject of War Inventions was suggested by the Great European War. During these years of warfare even children became interested in the instruments of destruction used in that barbarous thing which we call War. We must destroy our enemy, or he will destroy us. The great American historian - Washington Irving - said, a hundred and fifty years ago: "The natural principle of war is to do the most harm to our enemy with the least harm to ourselves." Children are always interested to hear how things came about, and so the author has endeavoured to show how the weapons of war came to be invented. By having imaginary talks with soldiers of long ago, we are impressed with the very great difference between the guns of to-day and those used in the battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar.
