Elements of Military Art and Science

CHAPTER II
35/40

The last of these has been translated into English, but the translation is exceedingly inaccurate.

The military histories of Lloyd, Templehoff, Jomini, the Archduke Charles, Grimoard, Gravert, Souchet, St.Cyr, Beauvais, Laverne, Stutterheim, Wagner, Kausler, Gourgaud and Montholon, Foy, Mathieu Dumas, Segur, Pelet, Koch, Clausewitz, and Thiers, may be read with great advantage.

Napier's History of the Peninsular War is the only English History that is of any value as a _military_ work: it is a most excellent book.

Alison's great History of Europe is utterly worthless to the military man; the author is ignorant of the first principles of the military art, and nearly every page is filled with the grossest blunders.
We subjoin the titles of a few of the best works that treat of strategy, either directly or in connection with military history.
_Principes de la Strategie, &c._, par le Prince Charles, traduit de l'Allemand, 3 vols.
