To ^ P U BLI C.
THOUG H we have nuraberlefs treatises on
milit iry fubje&s, it has always been regretted
that none of the authors have descended lower than
to inftru& Generals in .the operations of armies,
excepting those who confine themselves to the du
ties of the parade and garrison ; so that inferior of
ficers have had^no fourca frOm whence they could
derive inftruaion on the duties of their sphere in
the field, even though they may have ransacked all
the military writers from Vegvt ns to our books of
discipline. The inftruftions on the sublime parts of
war are perfect, none however but General Officers
have occasion to conlult them for any purpose but
speculation, while the art of carrying on the Petite
Guerre, and fortifying lefl'er posts in the field, which
is the bufinef# of every rank, has remained unheed
ed, as if unworthy the notice of military writers.
Every one knows of what importance even the
fmdlett detachments are to an army, and mult he
sensible that if they happen r> be commanded by
officers who are ignorant of their duty, they can
neither expert to procure advantage to the army,
or honour to themselves : but as it is only on oc
casion of being employed in commanding small de
tachments, that interior officers can hope to tignalize
themselves, the knowledge of this particular branch
is an object the mod worthy of their kudy and re
gard.
If to the science of posts be added the mticeuvres
of the partdan in (ecret marches ; occupying de
fending or attacking posts; reconnoitring countries
or the enemy ; placin' of ambufeades; punuits of
retreats, &c. the whole method of carrying on the
Petite Guerre will be known ; and this it is the in
tention ot the following essay to explain.
