Excerpt from A Course of Instruction in the Elements of the Art and Science of War: For the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy
The plan of the book required brevity and condensation. The constant endeavor has been to state principles and rules intelligently and concisely as possible.
It may be objected that the different subjects discussed are too cursorily treated. The opposite course would have required volumes.
