“The work is based on the official war documents—it is especially valuable—the narrative is remarkably vivid and interesting. Two well-executed maps enable the reader to trace out the scenes of General Manteuffel’s operations.”—Naval and Military Gazette.

STUDIES IN THE NEW INFANTRY TACTICS. Parts I. & II. By Major W. Von Schereff. Translated from the German by Col. Lumley Graham. Price 7s. 6d.
“Major Von Schereff’s ‘Studies in Tactics’ is worthy of the perusal—indeed, of the thoughtful study—of every military man. The subject of the respective advantages of attack and defence, and of the methods in which each form of battle should be carried out under the fire of modern arms, is exhaustively and admirably treated; indeed, we cannot but consider it to be decidedly superior to any work which has hitherto appeared in English upon this all-important subject.”—Standard.
TACTICAL DEDUCTIONS FROM THE WAR OF 1870-1. By Captain A. Von Boguslawski. Translated by Colonel Lumley Graham, late 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the above. Price 7s.
“Major Boguslawski’s tactical deductions from the war are, that infantry still preserve their superiority over cavalry, that open order must henceforth be the main principles of all drill, and that the chassepot is the best of all small arms for precision.... We must, without delay, impress brain and forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two books (‘The Operations of the German Armies’ and ‘Tactical Deductions’) we have here criticised, in every military library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical school.”—United Service Gazette.
THE ARMY OF THE NORTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION. A Brief Description of its Organisation, of the different Branches of the Service and their ‘Rôle’ in War, of its Mode of Fighting, &c. By a Prussian General. Translated from the German by Col. Edward Newdigate. Demy 8vo. 5s.
⁂ The authorship of this book was erroneously ascribed to the renowned General von Moltke, but there can be little doubt that it was written under his immediate inspiration.
