I'm interested in the proliferation of print fields here. First, the title comes from the engraved text attributed to Nathaniell Burt. The copper plate is slightly mis-impressed, because it's about 345-350 degrees askew from the page. Second, there's the image-text that depicts a bizarre combination of volley fire from horseback. Third, there's the main text of the letter, describing how to conduct artillery. Fourth, there's a marginal column on musketeer marching. Fifth, there's a Postscript attributed to a "Hermit at Wapping." Sixth, there's the colophon, "Printed according to Order."
