" These Lectures are replete with valuable information, and of that 

 character at once very useful to possess and very inaccessible to obtain. 

 The first five Lectures are just what officers have long known only as a 

 desideratum, but which will now become to them a very useful vade- 

 mecum. In the sixth Lecture, the Author takes high ground, and 

 proves himself a veiy accomplished tactician. Report gives the author- 

 ship of this very clever and useful little work to Lieut.-Colonel Torrens, 

 commanding the 23rd Fusiliers ; and we regret that, if so, he has not 

 put his name — a name of Army fame — on the title-page. There is in 

 eveiy page the spirit of the soldier and the gentleman — all that the late 

 Sir Henry Torrens would have commended, and much which, if he 

 lived in these days of progress he would adopt. No young officer 

 desirous of information which he ought to have when examined for a 

 superior commission, should fail to add this cheap and most useful little 

 work to his camp library." — Naval and Military Gazette.
