THE REV. MR. BARCLAN"s PATENT A:NTIBILI-
. OUS PI 1.1.5.
TT was a remark of the Celebi•ated Dr. Buchan,
I Author of the Domestic MediOre, that complaints or
the Stomach and Bowels are the prevailing Malady of this
Country, which lay the foundation of the more formidable
and fatal Diseases; that the person wlio could discover for
he relief and cure a safe and infallible remedy would per-
form a most important- service :to society . That discovery
haS now been made :in the-Patent Antihi:lous Pals of the
Re,. William Barclay, the extensive sale of which, and
the high estimation in which they are dest:lvediv held, has
consideratly lessened the number of. thes9,;:omplaints; and
bids fair, in a short tiine, to' be the means of entirely eradi-
catiag them. These fills • have a, quick and s.ife operation,
they ad pbwerfully and specifically on. the Pile, and thus
scmave the numerous disorocrs cormeded with it, Sick
-Hea44Aches, Flatulence, Liver Complaints, Jaundice, Ner.
vans DiSorders Irons 1 ndigestion, &c.
. They are the most
valuable Family .I%,lcdicilie hitherto offered to ,the
and the Proprietor 'is supported by the most respedable,
evidence of the first characters of the Nobility and others,
that they have never been administered to any person without
giving certain and speedy relief; and in the end completing
Cure.

No just comparison can be made, betwixt the art
of direEting the operations of armies,and any of those
arts or kinds of business in which the same circum-
stances are continually repeated. War is rot to be
carried on in the same manner in one country as in
another: The operations of small ariniec are not to be
imitated in those of great ones. If they were, the
most fatal consequences might ensue. The disposi-
tion and motion of armies in a field of battledepend
greatly on the nature of the ground, so that nothing
can be more diversified. Fur those,:and many other
reasons that could be given, generalship is er: t ireiy an
exercise of the understanding. Had it been possible
to acquire it in the same manner with a mechanic
art, the long wars carried on by Louis the Four-
teenth must have produced some able Commanders; •
yet eight of thOse to whom that monarch entrusted
the command of armies, and who had risen gradually
to the high rank of Alarechal de France, committed
such errors as brought their cOnntry to the brink of
ruin *, whereas Conde; Turenne, and Luxembourg,
whose genius enabled them tb form a perfe6t idea
of military operations before they had seen them,
'commanded armies with the same success from
the beginning, that they ever did - afterwards.—
Prince Eugene, of Savoy; was Generalissimo of the
Austrian armies froM the beginning of the last ceri-
tuly to the year 1736, a period of almoSt continual,
wars, in which, if the military science could be ac-
quired in the manner that many imagine, it might
naturally Ike supposed, that under such a Com-
mander, 'some able Generals must have been been
produced in those armies. But the first war under-
taken by the Great Frederic began a tew years after
the death' cif Prince Eugene, and the Prussian Mo-
narch lessens the merit of his own continual vic-
tories, in that war, by acknowledging a want of
ability in all the• Austrian Generals t. It is well
known that the present Conqueror of a great part of
Europe made lits first essay in the command of
armies, by defeating in Italy the experienced Gene.
rals of the same power.

• Besides the great diversity of circumstances in
Military operations, there is another reason fur this,
which those who think that the art of war may be
acquired like a matter of practice are not aware of.
Let any one compare an exact plait of the extent of a
few mileS in a part of the country little known to
him, with the appearance whicb the same .objects
present to his' sight, he will perceive how .different.
that appearance is-from the reality of the proportional %,
extent of all the parts delineated in the plan, and how
much he would be mistaken itt judgingof the extent
of distant parts of the ground. Then supposing two
armies ro be extended over the same part of the
country;, he could still less form any, idea of the
motions of troops iii those distant parts, :even before
clouds of dust and smoke concealed those objects from
him. This would be the case, if he were 'only a
spectator entirely master of his own time, and not an
Officer whose attention must
.be taken up with his
duty. It is' therefore imagined only 133; persons who
have no idea of the operations of armies, that
Officers can judge of those operations from what
they themselves see. They learn what passed in an
engagement after it is over, by the reports of
those who commanded the different divisions of
the army, examined on an exact pkan Of the ground,
in which the dispositions of both armies, and the
changes of disposition are delineated ; they may im-
prove the knowledge thus acquired by traversing the
.ground itself in all direelions, but cannot view the •
.whole at once as in a plan,. unless from the top of
.some neighbouring mountain, without any other hill
or mountain to intercept the view. Officers may in
the same manner acquire a 'perfeCt knowledge of all
the wars that, haVe beeri waged since the revival' of
the military science, at least of all those whereof
exact relations, with plans and descriptions of tl.e
fields of, battle, have been given by intelligent mili-
tary men..

• But as one cannot be said to have studied mathe-
matics, although he has read all the demonstrations
that are to be found in the works of the greatest
mathematicians, unless he has convinced himself by
the exercise of his own , reason of the truth of
those' demonstrations,' so neither can a Military
than be said to have studied the. art of war, al-
1-hough he has read the accounts of all the cam-
paigns from which any instruction. can be derived,
and the 1113XUUS and observations which the greatest
'Generals have left, uniess he has, by die exercise of
his own reason, discovered w hether or not the caUses
assigned by those Generals for:the good
.or bad suc-
cess of campaigns, or for the victory or the defeat in
engagements; were-evidently the real causes, and
whether or not these maxims. and observationi
were unquestionably just and true. By blindly
-following an example without a- perfeal.comprehen-
sion of it,,egregious errors Might be committed.. If
all this,were considered by those who are apt to ha-
z.ird opinions 'on the 'appointment of Military Com-
rnabders, they would be,sensible of the necessity of
being well informed of the mental powers of the
persons so appointed; and whether or not, having
been bred in the army, they
.haVe exercised those
mental powers in meditations On.those abstruse and
niost essential parts 'of the art of war;, which remain
always unknown to the far greatest number of otii,
cers of all armies.
