Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Military Science My object in compiling the present volume has not been with the view of depreciating or detracting from the merits of the valuable Military Works already before the Public, but rather to offer a more simple mode of reference on those subjects which are of immediate Regimental utility. Many years have elapsed since the latest editions of Military Dictionaries have been given to the World, and in consequence of the almost total change which has taken place in every branch of our Military System, those works, while possessing much valuable information, have in a great degree become obsolete. The necessity therefore of a Publication embracing the substance of the latest Regulations, and containing the points most essential for the instruction of Young Officers will be apparent to every person conversant with Military Affairs. Aware of the difficulty with which Officers have to contend, in seeking for information from books which are too numerous and expensive to be in general possession, and of the inconvenience arising from their voluminous size, I have studied to condense into a portable form the explanation of those terms which have been selected as really useful.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Military Dictionary: Comprising Terms, Scientific and Otherwise, Connected With the Science of War In bringing out a new edition of my Dictionary, I have kept in view the object I had originally in its compilation - the production of a general work of reference - and as such I now offer it to all who take an interest in military affairs. The number of expensive books to which the military student must have recourse, in order to obtain the varied information required in the different branches of the service, struck me some years ago as being a source of great inconvenience. To avoid this, I considered it advisable to bring out a work, by condensing into one volume all that is indispensable, as well as much with which it is desirable an officer should become acquainted. This Dictionary, which passed through two editions, was published in India some years ago. But in these days of rapid and constant transition, not only in the materiel of an army, but also in drill, organisation, and tactics, when new inventions are continually brought forward and introduced into the service, it is difficult without a work of this character to acquire the knowledge of these changes. A new edition of the Dictionary was therefore thought necessary, and that book, revised, corrected, and greatly enlarged, is now offered to the public. Matter foreign to the British army has been introduced in this edition, so as to enable the military student to compare the organisation, arms, &c. of continental armies with those of his own service. The Dictionary contains also descriptions of ancient armour, and of arms, lately in the service, which have become obsolete, as it may be of some interest to follow the changes which have taken place in the mode and means of fighting from the earliest period down to the present time.
