!. Guns and Cavalry. By Major e. S.
May. r. H. A. (noston Roberts
Brothers; Portland Lori1g, Short &
Harmon In this book the author has
put in permanent form ocoasinal articles
and addresses given by him to a limited
circle of officers. While the work is Of
especial interest to the class to whom the
chapters were originally addressed and
to the student of military affairs it is
not too technical to be devoid of interest
to the general reader. it is well ON
bellished anu illustrated by pictures of
off; GERS more or less renowned in Euro
pean service, and by maps of several
battlefelds which the author has chosen
as best fitted to exemplify his views in
regard to the proper functions of these
two arms Of the service, Horse Artillery
and Cavalry. While all arms Of the SER
vice arc mutually dependent, he regards
these as inseparably connected, if in their
lieves that they must be welded together
by giving to light guns the same mobi1-
ity that cavalry possesses. The author
lays great stress upon giving Increased
efficiency to Horse Artillery by increas-
ing its mobility. The illustration which
is given of the offensive power of troop
of Horse Artillery at the Battle of
Balavlavfa shows what can be accom-
plished by this arm in the hands of an
alert and audacious commander 1t is to
be regretted that he did not draw from
our Civil War some of the many examples
it affords of the effectiveness OF the
united service of these two arms.
The cavalry movements of PIeasonton
in the Gettysburg campaign, and Of
Sheridan in the campaigns of '64 and
'65 would have furnished him ample
material to illustrate and Sis
tain the views which he has set forth
in regard to the character of the service
of these two arms.
