Moncrieffe, T. Walker, M. Mills, L.White, J. Beatty, and R. Burton, Dublin, Somewhat poor copy of an uncommon work. "Dalrymple's Tacticks was the fruit of long service experience, of wide reading among the most modern French and German theoreticians and of ofur seasons recently spent in the English encampments. OIt was Dalrymple's concern to standardize the army's manoeuvres and to do so upon sound technical rules of basic movement, aware as he was that of late the British Army, compared to foreign armies, had "not made an equal progress in its Regulations and Tacticks." The resulting treatise was unique among all the English works that had appeared to date." [Houlding Fit for Service p.237] Early C19th military gift inscription to the front free endpaper.
