Excerpt from Strategy and Tactics

General Dufour, the Chief of the General Staff of the Army of Switzerland, is a graduate of the Polytechnic School of France, - the institution styled by the great Napoleon, "The hen which lays me golden eggs." General Dufour is a distinguished Civil and Military Engineer, besides being a practical soldier. In all military matters he is recognized as one of the first authorities in Europe.

The work on Strategy, Guard Tactics, &c., of which a translation is now offered to the public, was prepared for the instruction of the officers of the Swiss army. It is written in a plain and simple style. The author does not deal in vague generalities, but gives simple, practical directions, which are illustrated by actual examples left by Napoleon and other great generals of ancient and modern times. It will be observed that the work contains numerous excellent plates embodying principles in themselves.
