Excerpt from On Tactics and Organization: Or English Military Institutions and the Continental Systems
But the trouble in this case is to reach the readers. A book with a purely military title is read only by purely military men, and it seemed, therefore, to the writer that the best way to get at the readers he wanted, was through the columns of the daily press, which also forms a way of approach to the minds of the non-book-reading class of soldier, who, though he will shy at a book in a red cover, will wade comfortably through a military leader in a newspaper whilst discussing his breakfast.
