Marine? - Erstmals postum in Grossformat bzw. in 2 Oktav-Bänden 1756 unter dem Titel ?Les Rêveries, ou Mémoires sur l'art de la guerre, de Maurice, comte de Saxe? (vgl. BNF und Graesse; Jordan 2617 u. 2618). -- Moritz Graf von Sachsen (Goslar 1696-1750 Chambord), französischer Feldherr. ?1709 ins sächsische Heer eingetreten, sammelte der 1711 legitimierte natürliche Sohn Augusts des Starken im Kampf gegen Franzosen, Schweden und konföderierte Polen erste militärische Erfahrungen. 1716/17 nahm er als Volontär am 1. Türkenkrieg Kaiser Karls VI. teil und wechselte später mit dem Rang eines ?maréchal de camp? (7.8.1720) in französische Dienste über. [.] Den Polnischen Thronfolgekrieg machte er [.] in der französischen Rheinarmee [Armée du Rhin] mit. Während des Österreichischen Erbfolgekrieges kämpfte Moritz von Sachsen 1741-1743 im Verband der ?Hilfstruppen?, die König Ludwig XV. von Frankreich Karl (VII.) Albrecht gegen Maria Theresia zur Verfügung stellte. [. Er wurde] zum Marschall von Frankreich ernannt (26.3.1744) und anschliessend auf dem niederländischen Kriegsschauplatz eingesetzt. Hier [in Flandern, im Rahmen des Österreichischen Erbfolgekrieges 1740-1748] gelangen ihm mit den Siegen von Fontenoy (11.5.1745), Rocourt [Rocour, Roccourt, i.e. Schlacht bei Roucoux] (11.10.1746) und Laaffelt (2.7.1747) und der Eroberung der wichtigsten Plätze (darunter im Mai 1748 Maastricht) entscheidende Erfolge gegen die Verbündeten. [.] Nach Kriegsende zog sich der im April 1746 naturalisierte, mit Ehrungen und Würden [.] reich bedachte ?maréchal de Saxe? ins Privatleben zurück und verbrachte seine letzten Lebensjahre vorwiegend in Chambord, das ihm Ludwig XV. 1745 überlassen hatte. Auf militärtheoretischem Gebiet leistete Moritz von Sachsen, einer der bedeutendsten Feldherren des 18. Jahrhunderts, mit den Ende 1732 entstandenen ?Rêveries? (1756 von Z. de Pazzi de Bonneville erstmals herausgebracht) einen wesentlichen, die fernere kriegswissenschaftliche Diskussion befruchtenden Beitrag. [.]? (M. Hochedlinger, in: NDB 18, 1997). - In Paris ?legte er in seiner Schrift ?Mes Rêveries? 1732 (?1757) seine weit über die zeitgenössische Theorie und Praxis hinausgehenden Gedanken zu einer neuen Strategie nieder, die Friedrich den Grossen von Preussen stark beeinflussten.? (Rössler/Franz, Biogr. Wörterbuch zur deutschen Geschichte, 1952, p. 601). Bemerkenswerterweise findet sich heute kaum eine eingehendere fachspezifische Würdigung, die es erlauben würde, diese Theorie in relativ einfacher Weise einem Kanon der Kriegskunst einzufügen (nicht bei Daniels, Geschichte des Kriegswesens, und nur wenige vereinzelt eingestreute Erwähnungen bei Delbrück, Geschichte der Kriegskunst 4, 1920; Max Jähns, Handbuch einer Geschichte des Kriegswesens, reicht nur bis zur Renaissance). Gemäss NDB bespricht Jähns die ?Rêveries? allerdings in seiner ?Geschichte d. Kriegswissenschaften (Bd. 2, 17. u. 18. Jh., 1890, pp. 1500-1510), welcher Band aber digital noch nicht zugänglich ist.

La Haye, Pierre Gosse, 1756 ; in-folio, XII + 228 pages + 2 ff.n.ch. d'errata et d'avis au relieur + 40 ff. de planches, cartonnage de l'époque reteinté, dos à nerfs (teinture malhabile, coins émoussés, premier feuillet de garde blanc absent). Édition originale de cette réflexion personnelle sur la guerre, fondée à la fois sur l'enseignement du chevalier de Folard, et sur la connaissance que Maurice de Saxe a personnellement des situations et des généraux de son temps. Trop souvent réduite à quelques formules, sa pensée est en réalité une analyse en profondeur des Parties de détail et des Parties sublimes - ou grande tactique - de la guerre à l'époque moderne. La réflexion est complétée par des propositions originales, nées d'une imagination féconde ou d'un bon sens très pragmatique, qui n'enlèvent rien à la profondeur de vue que Frédéric II avait le premier reconnue chez ce « Turenne saxon ». Exemplaire bien complet des 40 planches hors texte, reliées à la fin, dont 22 dépliantes. La reliure en cartonnage d'attente reteinté, modeste, n'en a pas moins rempli son office : la conservation des feuillets non rognés, à toutes marges. En l'état. 1756.

Add to basketFirst edition in English of Memoires sur l'infanterie, ou, Traité des légions (which appeared in French the same year). Maurice marèchal de Saxe was one of the most heralded generals of the Ancien regime and was responsible for a string of French victories during the reign of Louis XV, not least the battle of Fontenoy (of 1745) in which his forces defeated a coalition of English, Austrian and Dutch troops. This book, attributed to him, though published posthumously is actually the work of his lieutenant général, Ricouart d'Hérouville. It uses the armies of ancient Rome as a yardstick for measuring the French army in its effectiveness, especially in the recruiting and training of soldiers. Immediately translated into English, it was influential on both sides of the Atlantic; a copy of this edition was notably owned by George Washington.The verso of the title-page advertises a simultaneously-issued work: The History of Maurice Count Saxe. (also Osborne, 1753). The two works are distinct, but owners (including Washington, it would appear from the Library of Congress Catalogue) sometimes had them bound as a single 3 volume work. 12mo (162 × 95 mm), pp. [4], 197, [1], plus 3 letterpress and 1 engraved folding plates at end. Slight browning and dampstaining, the final plate with closed tear at gutter. Contemporary sprinkled calf, red morocco spine label. Rubbed, label worn. A good copy. [Scarce; not in the BL catalogue.
