Excerpt from Instruction Upon the Art of Pointing Cannon: For the Use of Young Sea Officers The following translation of a French tract, published in 1841, is ofl'ered to the young officers of the Navy by one of their brethren, in the humble hope that it may contribute, even a little, toward their instruction in the most important branch of naval science which they are called upon to master. It is not expected that this brief outline of several principles and maxims of gunnery, derived from theory, and compiled from the records of experiments abroad, shall do more than clear the way for the young sea officer, and invite him to go farther. But if this even is accomplished much is done; especially when it is considered that it is not only the duty, but the interest, of each to know, and to know well, the most important facts in gunnery. Some of them are recorded in the following pages, and have an authority which will induce confidence; for the facts here stated, and the principles laid down, need not be unlearned again, as is too often requisite with the notions picked up by the way-side in early life. The progress made in naval gunnery, by the maritime nations of Europe, leaves it no longer a question with the sea officer of our country, whether he shall study the subject, or pick up so much of it only, as may be thrown in his way in the course of ordinary professional service. This was well enough when all others did it no others do it now; and we must follow the example of our competitors in the study and practice of naval gunnery, or the young officers of the present day will not prove the worthy heritors of the fame bequeathed to them by the fathers of the Navy. The time has gone by when the pursuit of nautical knowledge by study and application would depreciate the seaman in the eyes of sailors; and it is to be hoped that this barbarous prejudice derived from the bold navy on the other side of the Atlantic, and repudiated by it now, shall no longer find a refuge amongst ourselves. Knowledge in naval gunnery, like every other branch of knowledge, is only to be acquired by labor, assiduity, and study; and, like all other knowledge, carries power with it.

The Structures of Practical Knowledge investigates the nature of practical knowledge – why, how, when and by whom it is codified, and once codified, how this knowledge is structured. The inquiry unfolds in a series of fifteen case studies, which range in focus from early modern Italy to eighteenth century China. At the heart of each study is a shared definition of practical knowledge, that is, knowledge needed to obtain a certain outcome, whether that be an artistic or mechanical artifact, a healing practice, or a mathematical result. While the content of practical knowledge is widely variable, this study shows that all practical knowledge is formally equivalent in following a defined workflow, as reflected in a construction procedure, a recipe, or an algorithm. As explored in the volume’s fifteen contributions, there are three levels at which structures of practical knowledge may be understood and examined. At the most immediate level, there are the individual workflows that encompasses practical knowledge itself. Probing further, it is possible to examine the structure of practical knowledge as it is externalized and codified in texts, drawings, and artifacts such as models. Finally, practical knowledge is also related to social structures, which fundamentally determine its dissemination and evolution into new knowledge structures. The social structures of professionals and institutions represent the critical means by which practical knowledge takes form. These actors are the agents of codification, and by means of selection, appropriation, investment, and knowledge development, they determine the formation of new structures of practical knowledge. On a more abstract level, the creation of new knowledge structures is understood as constituting the basis for the further development of scientific knowledge. Rich in subject matter and incisive in the theory it lays out, this volume represents an important contribution to the history of science and epistemology. Individually, the fifteen case studies – encompassing the history of architecture, mining, brewing, glass production, printing, ballistics, mechanics, cartography, cosmology and astronomy – are replete with original research, and offer new insights into the history of science. Taken together, the contributions remodel historical epistemology as a whole, elucidating the underlining knowledge structures that transcend disciplinary boundaries, and that unite practitioners across time and space.
