The ART OF # WAR.
CONTAINING.
I. The duties of all Military Officers in aftual ser
vice; including necessary in(tru&ions in many
capital matters, by the knowledge of which, a
man may soon become an ornament to the pro
feffion of Arms. By Monsieur De Lamont,
Town-Major of 'j'oulon.
JI. The duties of fAldiers in general; inclining
necefiry in ftrudibns in many capital matters, by
remaining ignorant of which, a man who pre
tends to be a soldier will be every day in danger
of bringing disgrace upon himfelf, and material
injury to the cause of his country.
111. 'The rules and practice of the greatest Generals,
in the manoeuvres of encamping, marching, or
der of battle, fighting, attacking, and defending
strong places, with the manner of surprising
towns, quarters, and armies; exhibiting what is
most requisite to be known by all who enter into
the Military Service.,
By the CHEVALIER DE LIVALIERE.
THE duties of Military Officers, was written
by Monsieur De Lamont, Town-Major of
Toulon, a post of great trull, and which requires
much experience to recommend a man to it: This
experience he gained, by serving in the army for
twenty-three warm campaigns, and during that
time was personally engaged,Un many of the moll
considerable sieges and battles. Thus did he rife, to
that degree of knowledge in military affairs, which
is sufficiently testified by this small but valuable
work. All his intrusions' are rfo regular, and so
julL that they in a manner make a soldier of,the
man that never saw a camp, and heads him that de
sires to follow that course of life, so fully into the
art of war, that #young officer has nothing to do
when he comes into the field, but only to put in
practice that theory which he has already conceiv
ed, concerning all the operations, belonging to the
several polls, in an active and contagious army.
The second and third parts of this work, were
composed by Gen. La Valiere and another French
officer of great valour and experience in the art of
war. ,

I have by,thet plumbs cured a great pany children of whoop

are rhe ruin ot many childienscontiitutions.
I hefe plumbs enrich and fi s eeten the whole mass of b!ood,car

healthy complexion in luch as are affected by any putrid matter.
I he plumb is ugreat diuretick, cleaning the reins of Aime;
it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in the 'cholic and
griping of the guts. It allays and carries <pff four vapours which
