American Artillerist's Companion by Louis de Tousard
This is an excellent, three volume (two of text, one of plates) artillery manual written specifically for the US Army. The reference list for the manual is extensive using period French and British artillery manuals and it is one of the best references available for the French Gribeauval System which the United States was beginning to adopt.
The twelve hundred pages of text cover period artillery quite literally 'from muzzle to breech' and it is a complete, highly detailed, artillery manual written in clear text and excellently illustrated in the third volume.

@Kevin F. Kiley It’s use in calculus is perfectly correct, it just doesn’t mean what you thinks it means. It does not mean “we are done”. It doesn’t even mean “I am right” or “this is true”. It means what it says, we have demonstrated it. There has been an experiment or a calculation of some sort. Quoting a source or an opinion is not demonstrating. If you think the truth self evident from your argument, the correct latin epithet is: “Adversus solem ne loquitor” Its a legal phase that literally means “you may as well question the sun” Using QED inappropriately debases it in the general usage, and weakens it’s power when it is rightfully deployed.
