Wisser, John P., and Gauss, Henry C., comps. Military and naval dictionary. 50c. Hamersley.
Authentic and clearly worded definitions of all terms used in the United States army and navy, with a well-defined statement of the powers of each department of the United States government and the duties of all government officials.
“The work has been condensed into a small handbook, and constitutes a handy volume of reference, the words selected having been clearly defined in simple English. It will be of use not only to the general reader unfamiliar with the terms who wishes to learn their meaning, but also for the Navy, Army, the National guard, the Naval reserve, and others interested in military matters.”
