 ing the causes of Inaccuracy of Fire and the manner of cor- 

 recting it ; with descriptions of the Infantry Rifles of Europe 

 and the United States, their Balls and Cartridges, By Capt.

"Although eminently a scientific work, special care seems to have been 

 taken to avoid the use of technical terms, and to make the -n-hole subject readily 

 comprehensible to the practical enquirer. It was designed chietiy for the 

 use of Volunteers and Militia; but the "War Department has evinced its ap- 

 proval of its merits by ordering from the publisher one thousand copies, for tha 

 use of the United States Army." — Louisville Journal. 



"The book will be found intensely interesting to all who are watching tha 

 changes in the art of war arising from the introduction of the new rifled arms. 

 We recommend to our readers to buy the book."— J/7/iYary Gazette. 



" A most valuable treatise."' — New York Herald. 



"This book is quite original in its character. That character is complete- 

 ness. It renders a study of most of the works on the rifle that have been 

 published quite unnecessary. We cordially rwcommend the book."'— rniYed 

 /Service Gazette-, London. 



"The work being in ail its parts derived from the best sources, is of tlia 

 highest authority, and will be accepted as the standard cu the subject of which 

 it treats."— A'e«o Yarker.

" I have carefully examined Capt. Craighill'b Pocket Comp.inion. I fnd 

 it one of the very best works of the kind I have ever seen. Any Army or 

 Volunteer officer who will make himself acquainted with the contents of this 

 little book, will seldom be ignorant of his duties in camp or field." 



H. W. HALLECK, 

 Major-General U. S. A. 

 " I have carefully examined the ' Manual for Staff Officers in the Field.' It 

 is a most invaluable work, admirable in arrangement, perspicuously written, 

 aboundmg in most useful matters, and such a book as should be the constant 

 pocket companion of every army officer, Regular and Volunteer."

 Chief Engineer Department Mississippi. 

 "This little volume contains a large amount of indispensable information 

 relating to officers' duties in the siege, camp, and field, and will prove to them 

 a most valuable pocket companion. It is illustrated with plans and drawings."
