Synopsis
Catechism Of Fortification by Thomas Hodge is a concise instructional manual designed for students preparing for the examination required by the Commander-in-Chief. Structured as a Catechism Of Fortification, it tests knowledge through a sequence of questions and answers that cover the theory and practice of field defence. The work defines fortification, distinguishes natural and artificial defenses, and explains the principles governing parapets, ditches, escarpments, counterscarps, and the layout of lines of defence. It then surveys essential forms and traces of works, including intrenchments, redoubts, lunettes, lunette, and bastioned lines, as well as practical topics such as revetments, glacis, embrasures, traverses, and gun-cover. The book also addresses mining, siege operations, and methods of attacking fortresses, with guidance on how to apply the rules in military training. The Preface notes Hodge’s background as a fortification teacher at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and a tutor for the Army. The original edition was published in 1851.
