"There is no better Manual on Tactics than the one which Captain Hayes has written." — Naval and Military Gazette. 



" The Students' Manual of Tactics is an excellent book. Principles are reasoned out, and details explained in such a 

 way that the student cannot fail to get a good grasp of the subject. Having served in both the artillery and infantry, and 

 being a practical writer, as well as 'a coach,' the author of this manual had exceptional qualifications for the task he has 

 accomplished. " — Broad Art ow. 



" Is a well-considered treatise on tactics, giving not merely rules, but also principles and reasons. We would particularly 

 draw attention to the chapter on the defensive, which subject is treated with more fulness than is usually found in English 

 books. A valuable chapter on machine guns winds up the work." — The Times.
