Item description from seller

A Facsimile of the London 1804 edition; limited to 700 numbered copies. The author was "Commanding the Duke of Cumberland's Corps of Sharp-Shooters" and the original was printed for T. Egerton, military library. Four plates at rear on bugle calls, whistle signals, and formation of a company of sharp-shooters or light infantry as an advanced guard. A valuable addition to the military library. It being "largely a summary of official doctrine on the duties and training of light troops. In addition to quoting Jarry's manual at length it contained a detailed examination of Rottenburg's drill system, supplemented with general comments on tactics. The section covering aimed fire and target practice, however, was more detailed than anything found in previous works and contained lots of useful hints and observations on this important aspect of the skirmisher's art. Very good. No dust jacket. Some.
