PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. 



A THIRD edition containing additional (and I trust valuable) 

 information has been prepared, as the second was exhausted, 

 though it was very large. 



This book was originally only intended for use in India, but 

 an unexpected demand for it has been made in England and 

 AustraHa, and also by olGficers of the United States Cavalry, 

 which is very gratifying to me.
