During the past month the TLA. Institution has received from Henry G. Slade, 
Esq., a gift of MS. Order Books, Note Books, Pay and Messing Books and 
Diaries, the property of his father, the late Captain Henry Slade, R.A. Captain 
Slade became a cadet in 1806, and was commissioned in 1809 ; he served in the 
Peninsula, whence he was sent direct to North America in 1814, and was engaged 
in operations on Lake Huron. He was promoted Captain in 1840, and died in 
1841 at Jamaica, in an epidemic which carried off nearly every officer and man of 
the Royal Artillery in the island. 
The diary and various letters refer to several well-known Artillery officers, and 
the gift is one for which the Committee are most grateful. 
“ Home’s Precis of Modern Tactics.” Revised edition by Lieut.-Colonel S. C. 
Pratt, R.A., 1892, has been removed from the library of the R.A. Institution by 
an officer who has omitted to enter it in the Begister of Books on loan. The 
Committee will be glad if it is returned.
