T'HE duties of military fficers, was written by Menfieut
De Lamont, Town Major of Toulon, a poll of great
trull, and which requires much experience to recommend a
man to it; This experience he gained, by fervirg in the arm,
for twenty three warm campaigns, and durog that time was
pifonady engaged, in many of the most considerable lieges
and battles. Thus did he rife, to that degree of knowledge
in military affairs, which is fufficiently teftilicd by this final!
but valuable work. All his inftru&ions arc so regular, an
fo just, that they in a manner make a soldier, of the man th&
never saw a camp, and loads him that detires to follow that
tourfe of life, so fully into ihe 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 @0 the several
posts, in an a&ivc and courageous army.
