A collection of maxims that directed the military operations of the greatest captain of modern times cannot fail to prove of great use to such young officers as really desire a knowledge of the art of war.
The maxims are illustrated by instances drawn from the campaigns of Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne, Frederick, and Napoleon. These great men were all governed by the same principles, and it is by applying these principles to the perusal of their respective campaigns that every military man will recognize their wisdom and make such use of them hereafter as his own particular genius shall point out.
