Excerpt from On the Use of Field Artillery on Service: With Special Reference to That of an Army-Corps, for Officers of All Arms
I have long experienced, in my professional capacity, the want of a work treating of the tactics of Artillery; and as I have good reason to believe that others have felt the same want, I have been induced to put the treatise by Taubert of the Prussian Artillery into an English dress, being much impressed by the able manner in which that distinguished officer has handled the subject.
I need scarcely draw attention to the fact that the author has been brought up in a good school, and that he is one of a corps of officers who have always been as distinguished for their scientific and practical attainments in their branch of the service, as they have been for gallantry in the field. The great master in artillery - Frederick the Great - has left as a legacy to his country traditions which time past has confirmed, and which time future will probably never alter. Many of them are contained in the following pages, and it appears to me they could have no better recommendation than to state that they emanate from such a source.
