The information given on mobilisation, garrison troops, keeping up establishment during war, and on the employment of the different branches of the service, is of great value."-Standard. "The essay is well filled with information, easy to read, but requiring study for its digestion. It is a book which must be useful to the younger officers, and still more so to the older officers, who really have in their hands the management of the British army, and so large a part in moulding the institutions upon which it rests."Spectator.

General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work :-"I recommend the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy's 'Studies' to the attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want which I have often felt during my service in this country, namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of the war than any but the most observant and for tunately-placed staff-officer is in a position to give.
