THE duties of military officers, was written by Monsieur
De Lamont, Town-Major of Toulon, a post of great .
trust, 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
perfonaUy engaged, in many of the moll conquerable sieges
and battles. Thus did he rife, to that degree of knowledge
in- military affairs, which is Efficiently teftified by this final!
but valuable work. All his iqGru&ions are so regular, and
so just, that they in a manner make a soldier, of the map that
never saw a camp, and loads him that deGres to follow that
couife of life, so fully into the art of war, that a young offi
cer 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 w, the several
posts, in an active and courageous army.
The second and third parrs of this work, were compofeu by
General La Valiere and another French officer of great valour
and experience in the art of war.
