This work has been prepared to supply the
demand which existed fer something Of he
kind. Many very intelligent persons know liz
tie Of the organization of our army. We hay,
heard many discussing the subject Of breyetag -
POintments, for instance, and involving the nat
ter in the greatest confusion by not paying al.
tention TO the distinction between England an
the United States. This work gives satisfactory
information on all such subjects Il trsal,
separately of each division Of the amy-Oi the
ordnance department, the pay department, TIE
quarterInaster's department, the corps Of sugi.
neers; Of the artillery and cavalry, the loot ..r
vice, sc, sc. An account of the psy and
equipments Of officers and soldiers Is given, Of
the regulations relative to precedence, senior
~, &c. Every thing about the ARMY interest.
ing to the general reader is stated in plain. iB
tslligiole manner. Besides this there are BIO
graphical sketches Of distinguished officers. par

known by their connection with the Ms1ie,a

We are not ourselves sufficiently aeguaints5
eide whether the author is correct in all his
statements. lie seems to be at home in thess
matters, however; and We have no doubt that
his statements Of facts may be relied on. From
some Of his more general principles We dissent
entirely. A great deal Of pains seems to have
been taken to procure accurate portraits. Many
Of the engravings are spirited, some Of them We
hope are not likenesses
